Is there a query that I can use that will check for unauthorized deletion of event and security logs?

if you have that data indexed, you can look for it in Splunk.

an example will be Windows Event Code 1102

index = YOUR_INDEX sourcetype=WInEventLog:Security EventCode=1102 ....
note, depends on how you onboard the data, sourcetype name might change

hope it helps
