An IPS4 plugin that adds bulk delete buttons to the System Logs and Error Logs pages in the AdminCP. Delete all logs at once or filter by category (system logs) or error level (error logs). File-based logs can also be purged. Every deletion is recorded in the ACP administrator audit log.

IPS4's default log management requires deleting entries one by one or waiting for automatic pruning. When you need to clear thousands of log entries — after a migration, debugging session, or server incident — there's no built-in way to do it efficiently. X Log Cleaner adds sidebar buttons to both the System Logs and Error Logs pages for instant bulk cleanup.

• Bulk delete all system logs from core_log
• Selective deletion by log category (dynamic multi-select)
• File log purge — delete all file-based logs from the fallback directory
• Read-only mode guard (NO_WRITES) for file operations

• Bulk delete all error logs from core_error_logs
• Selective deletion by error level (1-5, based on error code)

• Confirmation checkbox required for every delete operation
• All deletions recorded in ACP administrator audit log
• Sidebar buttons disabled when no logs exist
• Modal dialog prevents accidental clicks

• Works in both production and developer (IN_DEV) mode
• No database tables or settings — pure hook plugin
• IPS4 4.7+ / PHP 8.0+
