  • Do you have the authority and authorization to clean the event logs. If you do, you can delete the logs, within the event viewer itself

Just right-click each of the logs in Event Viewer and choose "Clear Log". They are typically only 20MB (or less) and overwrite events as needed, but you can right-click and choose "Properties" to adjust this.
