Trouble with the number of log files (Log File Retention)

Good Morning, I am trying to limit the number of log files I retain in my \Log directory. I am currently using the following parameter /logsize=7*20K. With this, I am hoping to only retain 7 log files in the \Log folder.

Here is my command line:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\WinSCP\winscp" /script="C:\SFTP_DATA\sFTP_Script\sftp.txt" /log="C:\SFTP_DATA\sFTP_Script\Log\sftp_!Y!M!D!T.log" /loglevel=0 /logsize=7*20K
Log files are being placed in the \Log directory successfully. The job has run 10 time and I now have 10 separate log files. See below...

I am currently using:
version 5.19.6 (Build 12002 2022-02-22)

Thank you in advance for any assistance in resolving this.

Re: Trouble with the number of log files (Log File Retention)

Log file count limit (7*) does not work with the log filename timestamp patterns (!Y!M!D!T). That effectively makes all log names unique and have their own separate limits.
