Advice Request Is there any way to erase WD's detection history?

[eonline]

Hello, I am currently using WD with the Configure Defender application. My question is if there is any way to delete the detection logs of the native Windows antivirus. I searched the web and only found this PowerShell command:

Set-MpPreference -ScanPurgeItemsAfterDelay 3


* 3 is the number of days after which the protection log and items in the log folder will be cleared.

Is there another way? Could you add to the Configure Defender tool an option that sets how long users like me want the threat history to last? Well that's it. Thank you very much in advance. Best regards.

Disk cleanup & Bleachbit will erase it.

Thank you very much. I did the disk cleaning, also passed CCleaner and finally BleachBit only with the option of deleting system registers. I still have the WD history with the detections. Will I be doing anything wrong? I thank you again. Best regards.

It doesn't work for me that way either. The only solution that I know of right now is to delete the service folder of this location:

"C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows Defender\Scans\History\Service"

You need to disable "Tamper Protection" of WD before being able to remove it and don't forget to turn it on again after.

Hi, thank you very much. With this method only the detections of the WD user interface are deleted. But using a tool like FRST everything is still there. I guess this is just so because Windows is so.
