Description
Clears specified event logs using wevtutil.exe cl, or clears all logs if * is provided.
Overview
The script is designed to clear Windows event logs using the wevtutil.exe cl command. It accepts a list of event log names as input. If * is provided, the script retrieves all available logs on the system and clears them dynamically.
By default, it targets the following logs:
- Security
- Application
- System
- Microsoft-Windows-PowerShell/Operational
- Windows PowerShell
- Microsoft-Windows-Security-Auditing
- Microsoft-Windows-Sysmon/Operational
Each specified log is cleared in a loop. This script requires administrative privileges to execute successfully and is often used for log maintenance or forensic countermeasures.
