If you are like me I like to clean out Event Viewer so any recent issues will be more easily spotted. Of course it is time consuming but I found this gem a few years back and have used it frequently. It will clear out most Events but a few will have to be cleared manually.
 
I don't take credit for it but have used it for some time and I found it to be safe.
 
Just copy and paste into Command Prompt (Administrator) then hit enter.
 
for /F "tokens=*" %1 in ('wevtutil.exe el') DO wevtutil.exe cl "%1"

    Yeah, it gets pretty bloated with stuff.
     
    You can run a .bat file that's premade like found here (Option One) at TenForums..Save it/put it where you want to, right-click it and Run as administrator..More simple..Works great.
