Backup folder

I have a ton of Backup files in my backup folder. Will those eventually delete themselves?
My oldest is from Jan 2019.

No, the backups will just keep adding. Feel free to all the config_*.zip files. The backup_*.zip files you can decide whether to keep or not... these contain you WMC configurations when the backups were created and they are only created when you perform a Clean Start, or when you manually click the [Backup] button.

I've been thinking about this lately and will probably remove the configuration backups going forward. I don't know of anyone, including myself, that has needed to "restore" a configuration backup for anything. I thought it was a good idea when I made it, but not so much anymore.
