I have a Maintenance Plan that is suppose to go through the BACKUP folder and remove all .bak older than 5 days. When I run the job, it gives me a success message but older .bak files are still present.

I've tried the step at the following question: SQL Maintenance Cleanup Task 'Success' But not deleting files

Result is column IsDamaged = 0

I've verified with the following question and this is not my issue: Maintenance Cleanup Task(s) running 'successfully' but not deleting back up files.

I've also tried deleting the Job and Maintenance Plan and recreating, but to no avail.

Any ideas?
