There is a list of event logs in key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Eventlog. Each subkey have a name which is the same as name of log displayed in Eventlog. If you delete, for example Application subkey, you will get rid of Application Event Log.

The value stored in File parameter is a path to the file which contains entries of specified log ( you can delete this file ).
