Unless you happen to have a backup they're gone.

Ok, well afraid it isn't possible. The system event log is mostly informational. The logs tend to repeat during reboots so maybe you can just delay the report.

Hello there,

If you ever saved the event logs, you can find the logs in the system path (C:\Windows\System32\winevt\Logs)

Secondly, if there’s a system backup, you could try to restore from a previous system state to recover the logs.

Windows stores event logs in the C:\WINDOWS\system32\config\ folder. If an application such as Microsoft Word crashes, then the Windows event log will create a log entry about the issue, the application name, and why it crashed.

They are gone unless you either:

-Saved the logs as it suggested you do when you clicked clear
-Have a full system backup

It's also possible but unlikely data recovery software could undelete them.
