Remarks

Use the sysmail_delete_log_sp stored procedure to permanently delete entries from the Database Mail log. An optional argument allows you to delete only the older records by providing a date and time. Events older than that argument will be deleted. An optional argument allows you to delete only events of a certain type, specified as the @event_type argument.

Deleting entries in the Database Mail log doesn't delete the e-mails entries from the Database Mail tables. Use sysmail_delete_mailitems_sp to delete e-mail from the Database Mail tables.
