Cleaning the M-Files vault

Question

Hello, 
 is there any way to clean/delete old records, logs, statistics...that are already outdated? 
 I was looking at database usage on MS SQL server: 
 
 almost 90% of the DB size is taken up by the EVENTRECORD table.... 
 My question is whether it would possibly speed up M-Files and reduce the size of the overall backup, after cleaning. 
 Thank you,

You should archive event logs every now and then especially if you have Advanced Event Log features enabled in the vault: Archiving M-Files Event Logs 
 When Advanced Event Log is enabled, we recommend using the Log Exporter module to automate the archiving. Then you don't need to remember to do it manually. 
 To bring the vault size down, you can also archive old versions or export and destroy some of the content that is not needed anymore.
