Maintenance Plan xp_delete_file

  • Is this the maintenance plan "Cleanup History"??

    EXECUTE master.dbo.xp_delete_file

  • Is it not deleting the bak files?

    I had a similar problem

    In the maintenance plan for folder, I put a \ after the path and I removed the . from the .bak.

    Then it worked.
