Akeeba Backup 5.2.3 and earlier wouldn't delete old log files due to a bug. If you have log files from old backups without a corresponding entry in the Manage Backups page please remove them manually.

Akeeba Backup 5.2.4 and later will delete log files when the respective backup record is deleted. Backup records are not deleted automatically by default. However, you can change that behavior. Go into the Configuration page for a backup profile and set the Obsolete Records quota to the maximum number of "obsolete" backup records you want to keep in the database. For example, setting this to 50 will only keep the last 50 "obsolete" backup records. Older records will be deleted and their corresponding log files will be deleted with them as well.

Please note that an "obsolete" backup record is one which does not have a corresponding backup archive stored on your server. This includes the following types of records:
  • Remote (blue cloud icon).
  • Obsolete (gray trashcan icon)
  • Error (red X icon)
  • Running (yellow icon)
