I was wondering if the logs in the /var/log directory
(especially /var/log/messages) are automatically deleted after a certain

something that needs to be set up manually by the user using a cron job or
something like that?
Some logs are, some aren't. For details, examine:
/etc/logrotate.conf
/etc/logrotate.d/
