How does deleting the last log entry in an EVTX file differ from deleting an intermediate log?

Deleting the last log entry follows the same length-modification principle but avoids decrementing event record identifiers of subsequent logs since there are none. Instead, the `LastEventRecordDataOffset` in ElfChunk must be recalculated by subtracting the size of the last record. This difference is highlighted in the article compared to intermediate log deletion, where identifier updates are essential for maintaining consistency.
