The problem is you're using logrotate for something it wasn't designed for.
It was written to move/compress/truncate/... logs at a certain size or after a certain time since it was first seen/last rotated, and to make sure those rotated are still available. It's been designed to manage ever-growing logs like Apaches access_log/error_log or syslog. It's not been designed to remove singular logs.
If you just want to delete files after they've not been modified for a certain time, create a cronjob for that:
