You should add the following to the beginning of your config file to see
logback's attempts, if any, at deleting the files:
<statusListener
class="ch.qos.logback.core.status.OnConsoleStatusListener" />
Is your application long-lived or short-lived? Does it come up for a
short while and shut down?

Hello.
This was reported in previous versions on logback that MaxHistory does not
delete old files.
This bug is still present in 0.9.21.
I tried numerous of configs and nothing.
example :
<appender name="STD"
class="ch.qos.logback.core.rolling.RollingFileAppender">
<Append>true</Append>
<File>${log.dir}/log.log</File>
<layout class="ch.qos.logback.classic.PatternLayout">
<pattern>%date{HH:mm:ss} %msg%n</pattern>
</layout>
<rollingPolicy
class="ch.qos.logback.core.rolling.TimeBasedRollingPolicy">
<fileNamePattern>${log.arch.dir}/log%d{yyyy-MM-dd}.log</fileNamePattern>
<MaxHistory>5</MaxHistory>
</rollingPolicy>
</appender>
I have also tried :
<TimeBasedFileNamingAndTriggeringPolicy
class="ch.qos.logback.core.rolling.SizeAndTimeBasedFNATP">
<MaxHistory>5</MaxHistory>
</TimeBasedFileNamingAndTriggeringPolicy>
And still old files were not deleted. Can anyone advice ?
I do smth wrong ?
Being desperate I will delete all those files in my java code.
greets
Tomasz
