I am trying to understand why postgresql not removing WAL logs under pg_xlog in 9.6, below are my settings

You told PostgreSQL to keep 500 files and it has (the number kept
apparently fluctuates a little bit).
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/11/wal-configuration.html
Plus the ".", ".." and archive_status directories, and lost+found if pg_xlog
is it's own partition. That's four of the unknown six. Add a .backup file
or two and all 506 files are accounted for.
