    Archive Security Event Logs Filling HD


    I don't know what caused it but I am seeing a massive amount of logs that aren't clearing themselves. I don't know if someone set something in group policy to monitor something and forgot but I don't see anything abnormal. I have gone to 10 computers, all of ours are Win 10, and they all have massive logs in the following location:


    c:\windows\system32\winevt\logs



    I have some people that have 30gb but a coworker had 247GB worth of logs. Any idea what is causing this or how to fix it on a massive scale?







    Thanks,
