Ran into the 60 day purge issue and am wondering - If I create new workflow history list when I set up a workflow will the purge job still remove the connections after 60 days or will they be spared?

- The Timer job will go and search through all the workflow history lists and purge them, for more info, check my blog post:

You can test this in a testing environment by changing the operating system date, you don’t have to wait 60 days. Hopes that you can share with us the results!
Notice that don’t change the system date in production environment. Thanks!

- Disable the "Workflow Auto Clean Up" timer job to avoid the timer job to purge the workflow history.
