You can clear this via Event Viewer. Right-click the node

Microsoft-Windows-TaskScheduler/Operational

and choose 'Clear log'

As i am using a dutch version i didn't find "eventviewer".
After some searching i found it via "logboeken" via the help functions but
the link to execute it mentioned eventviewer....
What is the lofical way to activate the event viewer via menu's ?

The simplest way is probably

Start > eventvwr.msc

I believe it's more a case of when the allocated space for the event log
gets full, then older events get written over. By default it gets about 10
MB.

If you right-click the same node in Event Viewer (after you've enabled the
log) and choose 'Properties' (or the Dutch equivalent), then you'll see
alternative ways in which you can configure the log file, including its
size.

Actually, I may have adjusted the size of my log previously (most of the
other logs seem set to 1 MB), but you get the idea I hope.
