Hi,
Did you mean SQL Server error logs or Tranasction log backups?
If it is Error log, sql server by itself keep only 6+1 (current) copies by
default. The old files will be deleted automatically.
If it is Transaction log backup files, then use database maintenance plan to
fix a archival day. So as old file(s) will be deleted automatically.
Thanks

You can change the number of error logs maintained by editing the Registry
for any instance. For the default instance, find the key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MSSQLServer\ MSSQLServer and edit it by
adding a new value. Define the value with the name NumErrorLogs, and the
type REG_DWORD. Supply any initial value desired, but keep in mind that the
value you enter when editing the Registry will be in hexadecimal format.
For a named instance, you need to find the key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\<SQL Server
Instance Name>\MSSQLServer. Again, use the Edit feature of the Registry to
add a new value with the name NumErrorLogs of type REG_DWORD, and supply an
initial value in hexadecimal format.
