Do you mean SQL Server Transaction Log files or SQL Server Error Log files?

To clear the transaction log, you need to back it up (If you are in Full or Bulk Logged recovery). But I'm not sure if that is what you are asking.

If you want to recycle the SQL Server Erroir logs , use : http://www.sqlserver-dba.com/2012/11/sql-server-dbcc-errorlog-or-exec-mastersp_cycle_errorlog.html

Are you have having disk space issues?

To evade detection you'd probably also have to do some manipulation of the default trace .. if it's turned on , which captures certain events. you'd probably also have to clear memory.

There are other areas which need to be analysed if you wanted to evade forensic analysis.
