Failed to clear event logs

Hi @Brink, hope you are around for this! LOL
This has not occurred between October 16, 2016, when I purchased this it, and today.
So, if it is a minor issue, I am OK with ignoring these results.

Failed to clear event logs

Failed to clear event logs using Clear_Event_Viewer_Logs.bat, which I downloaded yesterday.
Please note the three logs just below:

clearing "Microsoft-Windows-LiveId/Analytic"
Failed to clear log Microsoft-Windows-LiveId/Analytic.
Access is denied.

clearing "Microsoft-Windows-LiveId/Operational"
Failed to clear log Microsoft-Windows-LiveId/Operational.
Access is denied.

clearing "Microsoft-Windows-USBVideo/Analytic"
Failed to clear log Microsoft-Windows-USBVideo/Analytic.
The instance name passed was not recognized as valid
by a WMI data provider.

p.s.
I activated the build-in Administrator account, same results.
At first I had used the Win 7 Clear Viewer V2.bat which I had downloaded from Seven Forums on June 16, 2015

Clear All Event Logs in Event Viewer in Windows  


I also fixed the following, but it requires editing the registry as TrustedInstaller or System with PowerRun or equivalent and is probably an exercise in futility as the next Win10 upgrade will probably undo it. I haven't done a write up on it, but if I can if anyone is interested.

Failed to clear log Microsoft-Windows-USBVideo/Analytic. (It should be Microsoft-Windows-USB-Video)

Access Denied while clearing Event Viewer error in Powershell


I am trying to cleat all the events in my event viewer as I had so many errors in the past 7 days. I opened powershell & ran as administrator & use this command

wevtutil el | Foreach-Object {wevtutil cl “$_”}

& I had some access denied errors.

PS C:\Windows\system32> wevtutil el | Foreach-Object {wevtutil cl “$_”}
Failed to clear log Microsoft-Windows-LiveId/Analytic. Access is denied.
Failed to clear log Microsoft-Windows-LiveId/Operational. Access is denied.
Failed to clear log Microsoft-Windows-USBVideo/Analytic. The instance name passed was not recognized as valid by a WMI data provider.

Is this normal? I still see the history last 24 hours & 7 days says still.
