Ok To Delete Event Logs of Uninstalled Programs?

[SaraBrown93]

Greetings,

I just have a question about Event Logs. Is it ok to delete Event Logs or .evtx files of uninstalled programs? The reason I am asking is because as of right now, I am in need of some assistance in trying to solve a problem I've been having in a previous thread that I've posted a few days ago.

Here is the link to the thread for those interested. http://www.sevenforums.com/performance-maintenance/326673-how-delete-remaining-hp-connection-manager-event-log.html

I have read other numerous threads, however some say it is best to not touch the Event Logs at all. Either way much help is appreciated.

Thanks!

Give Unlocker a try. Have it delete the file on the next boot, see if that works.

Careful when installing it, make sure you do not install Delta Toolbar.

To use, right click on the file and select Delete. If it doesn't work then tell it to delete on next boot.

Thanks for replying back.

But unfortunately, Malwarebytes Anti-Malware detects the installer as malware. What do I do?

Tell MBAM to allow it and continue. There is nothing wrong with that link or program.

Ok I installed Unlocker but I am unsure of what to do in the program?

What do you mean by "right click on the file and select Delete"?

Set the lower left drop down to Delete (as it shows in your pic) then click on Unlock All. See if that gets rid of it.

Unlocker worked like a charm. Thank you so much!
