    Can I delete just certain errors in Event Viewer?


    I was searching the forum earlier & kept getting a popup about an IE problem which I've dealt with many times in the past. Now I have about 20 Errors in Event Viewer taking up space while I wait for a reply in my other post about how to stop the popup. Is there a way to delete just them? (I used that batch file to clear the list just a couple days ago.)

    Doesn't look like you can, it's either all or nothing, or create a custom view to filter out what you don't want to see.

    You should just delete everything from event viewer from time to time, after you get the issue fixed. It`s just taking up space.
