kedar-47/Event-Log-Cleaner ? reverse-engineered prompt

Reverse engineered prompt

Build me a lightweight Windows desktop utility called TraceClean that can search and remove specific Windows Event Log entries. I want to be able to filter logs by Event ID or by text in the message, then clean out the matching entries from the log file.

It should work with the main logs people usually care about, like System, Application, and Sysmon Operational, and it should handle EVTX files directly so it stays fast and simple. Make it a native Windows app that runs on Windows 10 and 11, is built for x64, and works with administrator privileges.

Keep the app small, practical, and easy to use. A simple interface or command style flow is fine, as long as I can pick a log, search for matches, review what will be removed, and then run the cleanup. If you need to look up current Windows Event Log API details online, go ahead.

Are you gonna build this?
