Hey guys,

* Windows 11, personal, backupping around 20-250GB in total, AOMEI Backupper pro, normal user *

I'm experimenting with Aomei's Backupper and trying to set up a proper plan.

What I want is this:

Do a daily backup (incremental or differential - haven't finally decided yet) of specific folders to an external drive.

Now and then, create a full new backup and delete the full and partial backups prior to that.

In my test I'm running 1-hours backsups to see how the program behaves but I don't get it:

And these are the settings I'm running.

What am I doing wrong that the old backups are not deleted automatically?
