How can I delete past logs?

I removed a bunch of devices/apps and would like to remove the logs - at least for these - completely. Why is there no such function? Should be easy to implement, or they should be removed at cleanup, when a device is being removed.

A soft reset gives you the option of clearing out the past logs.
Do a backup, soft reset, then restore the backup.
I've done it many times with no problem.

Appearances are often deceptive :wink: The logs are collected outside the main platform/database in independent files. Querying the log for specific device when removed is not as easy as it seems. Deleting the files as @velvetfoot suggested is the best approach. The log file will eventually be overwritten as new entries are collected, so doing nothing at all is the next best approach.
