Backup Cleanup and Incremental Versions not working

Thread needs solution

I have an incremental backup job configured as such:
Create full version after 4 incremental versions
Store no more than 1 recent version chain
Automatic cleanup is on.

What I've noticed is that my backup drive contains.
1 full version and 10 incremental backup jobs beginning from when I first installed Acronis TI 2016.

So it would appear neither the desired version chain length or what to keep is being adhered to.
Any suggestions on how to correct this problem?

Confirm that the name of the backup scheme is "custom". If any other name, the settings do not work.

Also, if the task was modfied after backups began to accrue, this could also be the cause.

Ultimately, as you are having problems, your only real recourse which will correct the future backups is to start over with a new backup task with a new task name and new folder or sub-folder name and let the task perform without further edits.

You might review my example GH-12 found at the attached link.
