    QUESTION: I just did all of these things in Event Viewer. I see the log of Event Viewer was deleted. But, when I went back to Windows Defender, the Protection History still showed everything - including the "Threats" that relate to programs that have been uninstalled from the computer for a long time. Why is this?

    Hey man, Thanks for the video, but It did not work for me...
    I got the regular windows 10, and I've tried your method but it just won't get rid of those warnings and notifications from the protection history... I'm not asking for help, but if you got another solution to this I'd gladly accept your help.
    Stay safe.

    QUESTION: I just did all of these things with the "Group" method, too. After the Event Viewer method failed, even though all the "Logs" were deleted but the "Protection History" remained, I set the "Group" method to "1 Day." But it has now been several days and yet the "Protection History" still remains. How can I get rid of the "Protection History"?

      open iobit unlocker
      click on Add
      scroll down to program data
      then scroll down to Microsoft
      then scroll down to windows defender
      then scroll down to scans
      then click on history
      scroll down to service then click on service
      then click on detection history
      open up the yellow folders then add the files to iobit then click on unlock and delete
      then that's it you're done and deleted
      go back to windows security click on virus and threat protection
      click on protection history and they should be cleared

    I have a question, sooo this is just a clearing a protection history, not the files. You are still safe if you didn't install that apps that give you a warning/message, right ? If that file installed that mean you receive the threat in your computer... Soo this method is just a clearing protection history LOG.

    I hope it helps, let's see, after the recent reinstallation of WIN10, the Windows Defender folder is under the SYSTEM user and even though I wanted to manually delete the protection history in Program Data - WIndows Defender - Scan folder, it tells me (you don't have the appropriate permissions, contact SYSTEM)
    And that's me set myself as admin it used to work.
    I'm an administrator and it doesn't work manually, I don't know why and I'm not going to mess with it.
    I almost had a problem like this once and had to reinstall not WIN10 but WIN7 because I messed around with it 🤔🙄
