Logrotate usually deletes old log files? Or am I missing something?

Logrotate will keep rotating the logs and not let the size of the log file grow. Old log files might need manual deletion.

You might find this worth a read through.

Rotate count The rotate command determines how many archived logs are returned before logrotate starts deleting the older ones. For example:
rotate 4
This command tells logrotate to keep four archived logs at a time. If four archived logs exist when the log is rotated again, the oldest one is deleted to make room for the new archive.
