Description

My logs are store in daily folders, such as 2018-10-01, 2018-10-02 ... , and i only want last 5 days logs.  Log4j2 can delete log files 5 days ago, but the folder were still there, can you delete the folders too?

my config file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<configuration status="WARN">
<Properties>
<Property name="LOG_HOME">logs</Property>
</Properties>
<appenders>
<RollingRandomAccessFile name="RollingInfo"
fileName="${LOG_HOME}/console.log"
filePattern="${LOG_HOME}/$${date:yyyy-MM-dd-HH-mm}/console.log.%d{yyyy-MM-dd_HH-mm-ss}.zip">
