Windows PowerShell command on Get-command Clear-EventLog

NAME
    Clear-EventLog
    
SYNOPSIS
    Clears all entries from specified event logs on the local or remote computers.
    
    
SYNTAX
    Clear-EventLog [-LogName]  [[-ComputerName] ] [-Confirm] [-WhatIf] []
    
    
DESCRIPTION
    The Clear-EventLog cmdlet removes all of the entries from the specified event logs on the local computer or on 
    remote computers. To use Clear-EventLog , you must be a member of the Administrators group on the affected 
    computer.
    
    The cmdlets that contain the EventLog noun (the EventLog cmdlets) work only on classic event logs. To get events 
    from logs that use the Windows Event Log technology in Windows Vista and later versions of Windows, use the 
    Get-WinEvent cmdlet.
    

PARAMETERS
    -ComputerName 
        Specifies a remote computer. The default is the local computer.

        computer. To specify the local computer, type the computer name, a dot (.), or localhost.
        
        This parameter does not rely on Windows PowerShell remoting. You can use the ComputerName parameter of the 
        Get-EventLog cmdlet even if your computer is not configured to run remote commands.
