Why is there a risk of race conditions when deleting system.evtx or security.evtx but not setup.evtx?
The article notes that `setup.evtx` is rarely written to by the system, so there is little contention. In contrast, `system.evtx` and `security.evtx` are actively written to by Windows logging services, creating a race condition between the deletion operation and ongoing log writes. This can cause failures when overwriting those logs with modified content. This issue is similar to challenges faced in earlier parts of the series, such as Windows XML Event Log (EVTX) Single Log Deletion (Part 3).
