They should normally get cleaned up automatically.
The parameters apply to each VG separately, and the checks are made
whenever a new archive file is written for that VG.
(So backups of old VGs won't be deleted.)
Default keeps backups for at least 30 days and won't delete any unless
that leaves at least 10 backups of that VG.
