    CTP3 – Remove-EventLog

    Remove-EventLog is a new cmdlet in CTP3.  It brings the following parameters:

    ComputerName
    LogName
    Source
    Verbose
    Debug
    ErrorAction
    WarningAction
    ErrorVariable
    WarningVariable
    OutVariable
    OutBuffer
    WhatIf
    Confirm

    The Source is how applications write to the event log – it is possible to just remove one or more sources rather than the whole event log.

    To remove an event log

    Remove-EventLog -LogName test23

    Assuming you have the correct privileges the removal happens.  This is one cmdlet where I would very strongly recommend using the –whatif and –confirm parameters
