wbadmin delete backup - delete version but does not delete version in Explorer

Environment: Windows 2012 R2

Hi,

Perhaps someone can explain this for me . . .

I am performing a BareMetal backup to a local volume on the server.

I have a scheduled Bi-Weekly BareMetal backup. One hour before the backup, I run a maintenance task to keepVersion:2 so that only 2 versions of the BareMetal backup are kept.

The next BareMetal backup which is run is successful. I open a PS session, runwbadmin get versions and it shows 3 BareMetal backups performed. 2 weeks later, the next maintenance scheduled task is run, it removes the oldest BareMetal backup and displays 2 BareMetal versions (wbadmin get versions). When I open Explorer, under WindowsImageBackup\<Servername>, it still shows the BareMetal backup version which was deleted. I.E. runningwbadmin get versions shows 2 versions of the BM backup, but 3 versions exist in Explorer.

As this continues, the BM's are deleted when running wbadmin get versions but the files are not being removed.

If this continues without my checking it, I will eventually run out of disk space.

Why aren't the files for the BM backup being deleted when my maintenance task (wbadmin DELETE BACKUP -keepversions:2) runs?

Help!

David
