[Per W. <pw...@ia...>]

Most importantly - why do you want to do it?

Are they containing sensitive information that you want to remove, or is
it just that you want to keep older logs available?

Most solutions for logging is to browse the event logs and extract all new
entries to secondary files. By keeping track of last entry copied, there
is then no need to remove old entries.
