I don't know if its possible that some program can delete files it deems old and I don't think JNPG has such feature. Though 4-ish months ago, I used a method I thought was pretty practical.

Well, I followed everything in this youtube tutorial(I'm not really sure if this is the right one), and everytime I save, I grab the my latest map and copy it somewhere else (and overwrite the older version of the map if there is one in there). So the backup folder would be empty periodically and I still have the latest one in another folder. If in case my latest got corrupted, I just grab one in the JNPG Backup folder.

I don't remember why I stopped doing that but worked for me for quite awhile and it kept my disk all spacy and stuff.

EDIT : I'm a really slow typer...
