hi group, I tried this on our non-prod environment with smaller Max history of 5 and the old files were deleted. I'm just wondering if this is because the max history number before is too big?

Subject: [logback-user] MaxHistory not deleting old files

Hello,

I have a TimeBasedRollingPolicy maxhistory of 90 days. Although my logs are rolling daily, the old files beyond my max history are not deleted. Max history is not working.

<fileNamePattern>MyLog-%d{yyyy-MM-dd}.log</fileNamePattern>
<MaxHistory>90</MaxHistory>

version I'm using

logback-0.9.13

sl4j-api-1.5.6

thanks in advance
