Good question, After spending lot of time on this I ended up writing a PS script and schedule it to delete files older then 3 days. AFAIR there are two folder that grow unexpectedly with no clean up option. I was able to stop logs generation by stopping the "Data Collector Set" called "Fabric Counters" in performance monitor but it will start again after the reboot, so not a permanent solution for this.
Here is some more information on this same topic with a possible solution. https://chrishayward.co.uk/2020/04/30/skype-for-business-server-fabric-logs-consuming-disk-space-script/ https://www.ucmadscientist.com/fabric-circular-logging-for-skype-for-business-2019/
