Should be an easy answer for the experienced users. Where is the boinc event log (Windows 11) and how can I clear it out.

Thanks in advance.

When BOINC Manager is open press CTRL+SHIFT+E, that shows the event log.
Not sure why you'd want to clear it out, it'll refresh every time you start BOINC. It outputs to stdoutdae.txt in the BOINC data directory. This file is by default just 2MB big, and once it's filled to that, it'll clear and restart.

Thank you for the reply Jord. Some log files just keep growing and can chew up a lot of space, nice to know Boinc cleans up after itself.
