Automatic cleanup not working as intended
I have images of Acronis's Automatic Cleanup setting & the backup location.
With the current settings, I would expect there to not be more than 3 backups (2 Recent Versions + Space for overlapping backup) yet there are upwards of 6 in this case with none getting removed automatically. I have the Automatic Cleanup setting set the same for every drive being backed up. Any help on what I am doing wrong or what could be adjusted would be much appreciated! Cheers

Brian, as Ian has said all looks correct for your backup / cleanup settings.
Automatic cleanup works only on completed backup version chains and nothing is deleted until a new Full backup file has been created.
Your OS Drive (C) backup needs space to be able to store 3 x Full backup files plus 10 x Incremental files per your settings, where when the 3rd Full backup file is created, the oldest version chain (1 x Full plus 5 x Incremental) files will be deleted.
The one thing that looks 'odd' is that you have started a new version chain after only 4 incremental files as shown below:
With your settings, I would have expected to see OS Drive (C)_inc_b3_s6_v1 in the list unless you have modified the settings for the task?
