I want to clear my site log and event logs:

 

However, when I click the clear log at the bottom of the event viewer... it just hangs. And I get this error:

A critical error has occurred.
Timeout expired. The timeout period elapsed prior to completion of the operation or the server is not responding.


How can I clear these logs out... is there an SQL script I can run? And how do I clear the site log? I want to start with a clean slate and get some space saved. Thanks for any info.

go to Host :: SQL. copy&Paste the following lines, check "Execute Script" and hit run:
TRUNCATE TABLE {databaseOwner}{objectQualifier}EventLog
GO
TRUNCATE TABLE {databaseOwner}{objectQualifier}ScheduleHistory GO
TRUNCATE TABLE {databaseOwner}{objectQualifier}SiteLog GO
TRUNCATE TABLE {databaseOwner}{objectQualifier}SearchItemWordPosition GO
DELETE FROM {databaseOwner}{objectQualifier}SearchItemWord GO DELETE FROM {databaseOwner}{objectQualifier}SearchWord
GO
DELETE FROM {databaseOwner}{objectQualifier}SearchItem
GO

Note: clearing the SiteLog table will purge your visit history.
