The min size is 1 because users want the file to roll and have some archives left around. In all the time I have been involved with Log4j you are the first person to ever ask for a file that essentially clears periodically. I would imagine that this is because, depending on what you are doing, it is likely that the log events captured shortly before the rollover will forever be lost.
That said, if that is what you want then configure a delete action to delete all archive files on each rollover.
