 * I emailed pre-sales support and David said to post here if I continued to have
   problems.
 * Delete local is enabled under Advanced Options but I just ran du on the directories
   and find that the local archives are still not being deleted. Over the course
   of several sites keeping 3-5 days of backups this leads to 40GB of files.
 * I simply want to local backups to be deleted immediately once they are sent to
   S3. Is there a way to do this if the Delete local feature isn’t what this is 
   intended to do?

 * Hi,
 * Please can you provide a link to your log file for the problematic backup? (You
   can download it from the “Existing Backups” tab of your UpdraftPlus settings 
   page).
 * It’ll be too long to paste into the forum here, but you can download it to your
   computer, and share it with Dropbox, or paste it in pastebin.com, or any similar
   service, and post the link here.
 * Best wishes,
    David
