Folder file cleanup not working

Thread needs solution

I save my docs/download/desktop folder daily, and recently got tired of manually deleting old files. I set the auto cleanup option to delete files older then 4 days. The cleanup does not seem to work, so far it has saved 10 days of files. What am I doing wrong?

William, if you have changed the cleanup options for an existing backup task, then it can take a little time for the new settings to be actioned, counting from the date that you made the change.

If you do not see cleanup working, then I would suggest cloning your backup task and starting afresh with the new cloned task using the cleanup settings that you want to use.  You should ensure that the new / cloned task uses a unique name not previously used.
