I have attempted to set up a Postgres 9.5 server as a streaming replication backup (guessing my way through the process after reading the Postgresql documentation and a few tutorials) but am running into an issue.  The WAL archive files are not being removed on the backup.  I'm wondering if everything is OK and I should have discontinued the WAL archive process or if something else is wrong.  Thanks for any help.  The following should be the relevant configuration.

you should see a recovery.conf in slave server and below line must be included in that file to delete old archive files.

archive_cleanup_command = '/path/to/pg_archivecleanup /path/to/archive/dir %r'
