is that possible to setup the writecontrol to only save the latest 5 time files?
 
Dear Foamers,

Normally, I only use the data from the last several time files

I would like to ask is that possible to only save the latest time files and automatically remove the ones before during the calculation, in order to save some disk space?

Regards,
Yage
