backupper pro does not delete old backups per scheme

I have it set for full backups of only certain folders and files that I back up daily Mon-Fri, and it is not using the scheme I set for deleting old backups. I have tried different schemes and nothing works, I have to manually delete older backups. Why is this happening?

    @Jegg, "I have tried different schemes and nothing works"---Did you change the scheme on the same task? Could you take a screenshot of your backup scheme setting? And, please also send us the take2.2.xml file under C:\ProgramData\AomeiBR.

    Automatic Delete never works right for me. It either doesn't delete anything or it leaves behind 2 complete backup sets when it's set to keep only one. The program is not consistant in how it behaves.

    Aomei support has not been able to fix this for me. Obviously, the developer needs to work harder to correct this long-standing GLITCH. I am very disappointed...

    I also have this problem. I have never managed make the automatic delete work, in spite of having tried with different schemes. I bought the Pro version to have this automatic deletion, but to me it was a waste of money. I am forced to delete old backups manually.
    I'm on Windows 11 and the backup drive is via USB.  All the files are being backed up correctly, but the old ones are not deleted.

    I don't understand what I need to do to make it work! This is very frustrating.

    same here. auto delete has never worked for system backup or file backup. The last time I reported the issue, they told me to re-create the scheme like that was going to help.
