*From the desk of Stu Harman, our support and coaching expert. In this article Stu explains how to delete all of the events that are currently stored in the BiteFX Session Event Log.*  

**

The Session Event Log is a feature in BiteFX that stores events (animations and pictures) that have been shown over a specific period of time. The default setting for BiteFX is to store these events for eight (8) days, after which they are automatically deleted from the log. The purpose of the Session event log is to give you the ability to create a recording of a BiteFX consultation session after a consultation was conducted in case you forgot to record the session (See [What to Do When You Forget to Record a Session](https://hubspot.bitefx.com/bid/94670/BiteFX-for-Windows-What-to-Do-When-You-Forget-to-Record-a-Session)). The default retention time can be reset from 0 to 30 days in the Menu>Option>Advanced submenu.

***Note: The following instruction are described for BiteFX V2.4. Be sure to upgrade your BiteFX software to the latest version if you have not already done so.***

## Here is how the Session Event Log appears with events stored:
