You can try:

C#

if (System.Diagnostics.EventLog.Exists("MyCustomLog"))
{
    System.Diagnostics.EventLog.Delete("MyCustomLog");
}

This is absolutely different topic; your question is probably on a specific application type -- ASP.NET (and you should tag it in the question); the OP's question is not related to any particular application type or library.
So, you would need to ask a separate question. Don't forget to tag: platform, language, "ASP.NET" and whatever else is relevant.

What's wrong with System.Diagnostics.EventLog.Clear? Please see:
