I'm a little confused - what log files are you looking for? How does this connect to you wanting to erase your HD/Yosemite installer?

Also, if it is asking you to restart the computer are you sure it hasn't installed. I don't think the Yosemite installer asks for a restart until the installer has run through part of the installation process.

No, it's already installed. Why don't you give it a try for awhile and then if you don't like it, you can restore Mavericks from your Time Machine backup.

The thing is that a lot of software that i use for work does not work with it. Thanks for the answer!

I'm surprised that a lot of your software that you use for work does not work with Yosemite but does work with Mavericks. I haven't run into any major application that I use which does not run in Yosemite that ran in Mavericks. Perhaps you're running some specialized software?
