Clear ePSA Event Log

After doing a hardware scan using the Dell Enhanced Pre-Boot System Diagnostics (ePSA) on an Optiplex I found some hardware issues, which I have now resolved.

Now I want to clear the messages in the Event Log tab, however there is no option for it. How can this be done?

OK, I figured it out myself. The log is stored in a UEFI variable called "DIAGEEPROM". You just need to delete it. For example, boot from a ubuntu live CD and do

    sudo rm /sys/firmware/efi/efivars/DIAGEEPROM_VAR-XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX

where the Xs are numbers specific to your system.

No Events found!
