# Delete log entries

You can delete log entries. To do this, [delete a log group](#delete-log-group) or [selected log streams](#delete-event-stream):

You can delete logs:

* via the [control panel](https://my.selectel.ru/logs/default/logs);
* using [AWS CLI](/logs/tools/aws-cli.mdx);
* or an [SDK client](/logs/tools/sdk-client.mdx).

If the logged resource continues to work and creates new logs, the deleted streams and groups will be restored automatically. Deleted events will not be restored.

## Delete a log group \{#delete-log-group}
