Is it possible to auto delete gnucash backup and log files?

Maybe at least I can specify another location for such files?

Edit I've found a related issue in project's Bugzilla: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=601154

If you want them to be removed automatically, Gnucash can remove them after a configurable amount of time (Preferences > General > "Days to retain log files").

Another chance would be to write a batch file to remove .xac and .log files inside the relevant directory.

You should notice that the backup and log files have a format of <name>.YYYYMMDDHHMMSS.xac (or .log). These are backup (and log) files from your data file, <name>.
