Doesn't delete it totally, but there is a "suppress"/revdelete feature
where you can hide log entries from most users.

Just add:
$wgGroupPermissions['sysop']['deletelogentry'] = true;

to bottom of LocalSettings.php and admins should be able to "delete" log
entries.

See https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:RevisionDelete for more
information.
