             Summary: Delete action ignored when rolling empty file
                 Key: LOG4J2-3167
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-3167
             Project: Log4j 2
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 2.14.1
            Reporter: Hrvoje Ban


When rollover is triggered on a empty log file, it will delete that file (as 
expected), but it will not execute delete actions for other older log files.

This is problematic for me because I'm required to always remove log files 
after some time. I'm using combination of {{CronTriggeringPolicy}} and 
{{Delete+IfLastModified}}, which works as expected, unless current log file is 
empty. Since some logs are written infrequently, this can cause old files to 
linger on disk for days.
