How to delete event source windows 2008

Question

I would like to delete an event source in windows 2008.

I don't want to delete the log event, just the source.

How do I do that?

I don't find any command i PowerShell that does that.

You can use Remove-EventLog to unregister one or more event sources:

Remove-EventLog -Source "My Custom Source"
Remove-EventLog -Source "ASource","Another one","CustomApp123"
