    It's basically saying that it cannot clear the "Application and Services Logs\Microsoft\RMS\MSIPC\Debug" log in Event Viewer while it's in use.

    Personally, it's nothing to worry about though.

    I would like to save each log's contents before delete. Possible?


    It may have even been here somewhere I started on this thread back in the Windows 7 Forums I think .
    Most seem to be the same commands and most do clean them all but I would love to have a copy of the contents before it is gone forever if possible. :)

    Hello questorfla, :)

    You can select a "Windows Log" in the left pane, then select "Save all events as" in the right pane to save them.

    Thanks Brink


    You are always right on the money !
    I cannot believe i read every post looking for that option to be added to all those that dumped them all.
    On systems that have been in use by others that I have to reload from scratch for a new employee, i want to save everything from the previous users history that I can but would rather the next user started out with zero entries.
    Helps me know later if it is the machine or "human" when the errors show up :)

    Hello drugo,

    The event logs are stored in the folder below. :)

    %SystemRoot%\System32\Winevt\Logs
