Comment:

 I really think this isn't something pidgin should be handling directly,
 this is something much better handled by even something as simple as a
 shell script or batch file (or whatever can run a Windows search and do
 something to the results on Windows).

 When you say keeping older logs "makes backing up my settings time
 consuming" do you mean file copy time? Are you using html or text logs? Is
 the problem sheer size or the number of files? For either are you using
 tar/gzip/etc. or copying the directory as-is?
