I think it would be useful if the browser UI tab for logging had a ‘wipe logs’ button to erase all data from before that point meaning any new log entries would be new activity within the router.

If you want debug, ssh is much easier.
The following command will display new logs only foreground.
logread -f
I just want to clear out data before a set point so I know any activity is new activity, also I don’t know how to connect through ssh or input commands

Check out the ssh guide SSH to the Router - GL.iNet Router Docs 3
It is very basic and common way that you need to learn.
The command is exactly for your purpose.

I’ve checked the link and can’t do it anyway as all instructions are for Windows/Mac/Linux. I only own a fairly decent Android tablet so can’t use any of those methods

As I can understand the initial request for a clean window to start multiple steps of debugging, I would prefer the option to send to a dedicated syslog-server.
I am pretty sure that is already possible with LuCI packages direct on OpenWrt … So this is more an idea than a request 
feel free to ignore this comment.

Yes it is possible to use external log server.
As it involves privacy and security concerns we leave this to the users. But it will be extremely useful for debuggying issues.

very good suggestion, a clear logs button would be useful.
