Answer 2

@kanna ,

Thanks for posting your question in Q&A.

The logs that are seen in the monitor section are the function invocation logs and the source of these logs are from the Application insights logs. The following are the ways to delete the logs

1. Delete the Application insights instance ( Just an option but it is not recommended as you will lose all the data/logs associated with this instance)
2. Change the data retention period. Please refer : https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-monitor/logs/manage-cost-storage#change-the-data-retention-period
3. Purge data using Rest API : https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/application-insights/components/purge

I hope this helps!
