Backup settings produce unexpected results
What I want to happen: Create full backup #1, then 5 incremental backups, then create full backup #2, then delete entire backup chain #1, then continue with 5 backup #2 incremental versions, etc. etc.
My settings: Create a full version after every 5 incremental versions, Store no more than 1 recent version chains.
My results: After full_b1_s1_v1, backups continued with inc_b1_s2_v1, and has now reached inc_b1_s9_v1 !
Obviously, there's something wrong with my settings, but I'm not seeing the error.
Using a desktop PC, Windows 10 Pro 64, Acronis True Image 2018 Build 15470 (updated from 12510 after v6 or 7)
Will appreciate any help.

That may be the problem. I will stop the current backup and create a new one with a different name. Hope it works. Thank you.

That was it. I set it to make 3 inc backups, them make new full, and to keep only 1 backup chain. It did exactly that, then deleted the previous chain, leaving only the new Full backup. Perfect! Thank you.
