  1. Hello, friends. Sorry for the long absence.

    I don't know what the cleaning rules for the event logs are.

    But do you also have 'System>Windows Event Trace Logs' selected?
    Could it be that which is removing certain logs?

    Windows Event Logs are located in C:\Windows\System32\winevt\Logs.

    And 'System>Windows Event Trace Logs' has different paths in winsys.ini: 

    FileKey1=%windir%\Logs|*.etl|RECURSE
    FileKey2=%CommonAppData%\USOShared\Logs\User|*.ETL

    Hi kubinec12:

    Just a thought, but if the CCleaner setting at Options | Advanced | Only Delete Files in Windows Temp Folders Older Than 24 Hours is ENABLED (the default) then perhaps the cleaning rules that apply to Windows temporary files also apply to log entries in Event Viewer.

    Are the log entries in your Event Viewer that are not cleaned always less than 24 hours old?
    -------------
    Dell Inspiron 5584 * 64-bit Win 10 Pro v22H2 build 19045.3086 * Firefox v114.0.1 * Microsoft Defender v4.18.23050.5-1.1.23050.3 * Malwarebytes Premium v4.5.31.270-1.0.2047 * Macrium Reflect Free v8.0.7279 * CCleaner Portable Free v6.13.10517

    lmacri, no, this setting doesn't affect Event Logs cleaning. And the setting for 24 hours is cleared in my config.

     

    So, I always have only these 5 Event Logs cleared:

    Application.evtx
    HardwareEvents.evtx
    Internet Explorer.evtx
    Key Management Service.evtx
    OAlerts.evtx

    among 356 Event Logs in my C:\Windows\System32\winevt\Logs.

    Could anybody confirm or deny such behavior on his computer?

  2. I have launched CCleaner with /DEBUG option. Here is part of log.
    After Analyze Windows Event logs:

    After Clean  Windows Event logs:

    And screenshots of partially cleaned Event logs attached. Very strange.

  3. Hello! I use Windows 10 22H2 x64, CCleaner 6.13.

    Windows -- Advanced -- Windows Event logs analyze action says 0 bytes to be removed. 

    When I click Clean Windows Event logs it also says 0 bytes removed, but when I open Event Viewer then I see Application event log and four logs are cleared, and other logs including System event log are not cleared.

    I tried reboot computer, run Ccleaner as SYSTEM accout with no result. Event logs are cleared normal when I use Event Viewer -- Clear Log function or wevtutil.exe built-in cmdline utility.
    My quesion are:

    1. Such behavior of CCleaner is a bug or a feature?🤔

    2. What 

    SpecialKey1=N_EX_WINDOWS_EVENT_LOGS

    in winsys.ini in [Windows Event Logs] section actually mean and do?
