+ <p>This parameter controls if state files are deleted if their associated main file is rotated via move. Usually, this is a good idea, because otherwise state files are not deleted when log rotation occurs.</p>
+
+<p>However, there is one situation where not deleting associated state file after log rotation makes sense: this is the case if a monitored file is later moved back to the same location as it was before.</p>
