Task will not delete backups.

Thread needs solution

My backup location is getting full because the cleanup task does not behave as expected.

I do not get any errors. The log says that it has succeeded. It is set to delete older than five days. I have let it get to ten days before I go into the archive view and manually delete the older backups there.

This is happening on 11 server version. It was working fine forever. After having this issue. I have deleted the old task and created a new one from scratch. The plan is using simple to start the task every 1 day and on cleanup delete the backups older than 5 days.

History says everything has succeeded but the cleaning up only takes 17 seconds where it used to take a minute or two.

I have looked through this forum and online for solutions but all I could find were to delete the task and create a new one. Which I have done. The difference with my situation mostly is that I am not getting an error message at all.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
