Hi,

You can use EventLog classes in System.Diagnostics.
First create an instance of EventLog component and then set the necessary properties to configure it. For this, check out these MSDN articles:

1. Creating EventLog Component Instances
2. Configuring EventLog Component Instances
3. Walkthrough: Exploring Event Logs, Event Sources, and Entries

Finally call the EventLog.Clear method to clear the log.
Hope this helps.

Thanks
