Problem with the event log

I created a custom log by following a walkthrough. It created NewLog1. I logged several things successfully. I then tried to delete it and send my error messages to the Application log. The problem is that they still go to NewLog1 which doesn't show up in the Event Viewer because I deleted it. I have found the file NewLog1.evt and verified that the file is still receiving the error messages(they are appending) that I am trying to sending to the Application log

I have tried several times to delete NewLog1, but have been unsuccessful

I am very new to .Net. Any help would be appreciated

I finally fixed this problem. I stopped the event log service, restarted Windows, and deleted the NewLog1 file. The file, NewLog1.evt , was always in use as long as the event log service was running. Once it was deleted and the event log restarted, my code worked just fine
