About wal files and archiving of them, I must delete both manually, isn't it? There isn't any option for automatically delete wal files with a given age in the postgresql.conf, isn't it?

Thanks beforehand.

you need ALL the archived WAL files since the start of the last base backup, or none of them are useful.
