Old backups not getting deleted. Disk is full

Thread needs solution

So I have ATI Home 2011 and I am backing up to a networked drive. The drive is mapped and everything has the correct permissions. I can see the drive, Acronis can backup to the drive, but it refuses to delete the old backups. I have tried all the types and version backups and the same thing keeps happening. The drive fills up in about a week or two and the old backups never get overwritten. Am I doing something wrong here?

TIA

Lars,

Try the option to keep only XX most recent version chains. See attached. YOu can adjust the settings. When used with a daily backup, my settings create a full backup every week, and keep one month worth of backups.
