I get a lot of files in my documents folder that are like this:

"X"Books.gnucash."Y"   where "X" is the name of my database and "Y" seems

be a date time stamp.  They never go away.  How to I control these so that
they are automatically cleaned up by gnucash?

Thanks

They are backups that are regularly taken. You control whether you want the
backups, the frequency of the period, and how long they are kept from. Go
to the Edit menu, select Preferences, then click on general.
