Unable to clear protection history manually in windows defender security center in Windows 10 version 1903

Please any body help me with a proper solution.

* Moved from Win 10/Security

Answer
Answer

Specifies the number of days for which items are stored in the scan log folder. After this time, Windows Defender deletes the items. If you specify a null value, Windows Defender will not remove items. If you do not specify a value, Windows Defender will remove items from the default scan log folder, that is, 30 days.

You can specify a different delay period (in days) by running this command on the PowerShell administrator command line:

Set-MpPreference -ScanPurgeItemsAfterDelay 3

* 3 is the number of days after which the protection log and items in the log folder will be cleared.
