    Deleting a particular event record in the event log of Windows 10


    I had a requirement to delete a particular event record from the Windows application event log programatically with C++. But I did not find any option other than ClearLog, which is used to clear the entire event log. I have to clear a record with a specific source name.Can anyone help ?

    :)

    Unable to delete the events in calendar

    Hi Beatriz,



    I realize the inconvenience you are facing with Calendar app. I will surely help you.



    Before assisting further, I would like to ask you few questions:




    • What happens when you try to delete calendar events in the Windows 10 Calendar app? Do you get any error message/code? If yes, then provide us the complete error message/code.

    • Is this issue specific to a particular Calendar and Calendar event?

    • What is the type of account you have used to login to the Windows 10 Mail and Calendar app? Is it @live.com or @outlook.com?

    • Are you able to delete the Calendar events from the web browser?
    I suggest you to create a test event and then try deleting that event and let us know the result.

    Please get back to us if you still face any difficulty with Calendar app. We will be glad to help.



    Thank you.

    Windows 10 Event Error Log - Summary Section

    One of the Logs listed needs to be deleted since this application has been removed from my laptop. Is there anyway to remove it from the Log -Summary Section?
