This issue could occur if the redundant log files are not deleted.
Please follow the steps listed below to overwrite redundant log files.
1. Click the System option under the Windows Logs drop-down menu.
2. Next, click the Properties option on the right-hand side pane.
3. Navigate to the General tab.
4. Check the Overwrite events as needed (oldest events first) box.
5. Press Apply and then press OK.
Keep me posted.
If this helps, please mark the public post as an accepted solution so that it benefits several others.
