David, welcome to these public User Forums.

Sorry but more information is needed here?

Automatic cleanup for all ATI backup tasks only runs following a successful creation of a new Full backup image file.  Nothing will be deleted if there is no space for that new Full backup.

In lieu of probably not having enough space to accommodate the next full or whatever the next backup is, you might be able to manually cleanup versions in the interim. Beyond that, you'll likely need to reduce your backup history retention or get a larger destination drive for backups. You typically want a drive that can accommodate at least 3-4 times the size of your original full for this to work well. It really depends on how big your backups are, how much the grow as data changes and how many backup chains (and how long those chains are set for) though.
