Settings-Maintenance-Clear Scan History
I don't think it's possible deleting separate scan logs if that's what you were asking.

I think in Ccleaner there is an option to deletes files from avast.

There is such a setting.  However, using CCleaner on Avast files is not recommended at all.

If you use avast & Ccleaner this option is enabled by default !

I don't know about it being default.  I've used CCleaner far longer than I've used Avast, and I've used Avast since version 4.x.  As far back as I can remember, Avast has been unchecked in CCleaner.  Perhaps I did uncheck it immediately after installing Avast, knowing what a bad idea it was/is. :)

Removing the log files could (or should) work also.

Just did the update to the latest version of Ccleaner and Avast was checked. I had to manually uncheck it.
Wish they had a feature to save your settings. I know I'm not the only one to ask. :)

I just updated CCleaner 5.34 to CCleaner 5.35 by downloading CCSetup535_Slim.exe and overinstalling.  Avast was unchecked before and remained unchecked after update.

Hi Bob, you can save the settings, see screenshot. Cheers

Thanks, gisot1. I found that I have to restart Avast to see the cleared Scan History. It's a pity that one cannot clear individual scans, but I can live with it.
