Drop Delta Log seems not to be working

I have a delta table where I set the following property
logRetentionDuration: "interval 1 days"

I was doing some table operations and see in the _delta_log folder files such as

00000000000000000000.json
00000000000000000001.json
00000000000000000002.json

After one day, I was doing some other operations and I see that all 10 commit compacted files are created in the log. However, I was expecting that the old log jsons (older than 1 day) are removed. Why are they still there?
