The log files are created according to the rolling buffer principle. At the end of each day, a new file is created and the oldest one is deleted. Similarly, a new log file is created when an existing file exceeds 10 MB.
Open a console window: Hold down the Ctrl key and right-click in the folder to open the context menu. Then select Open with PowerShell, PowerShell Window here or Command Prompt.
