 * Where does WP Database Backup store its backup files?
 * I have 1,000 backup files and need to clear them out. I’d like to get to the 
   folder and just delete them en masse.
 * Can you point me to a folder name and location in the WordPress directory?
 * Thanks!

 * Hi,
 * Backup path –** wp-content/uploads/db-backup**
 * You can delete also backup using below steps :
 * Go to Dashboard=>Tool=>WP-DB Backup > Settings > Number of backups in the admin
   dashboard. Enter Number of backups to store on this server.
 * Enter Number of backup 3 for keep latest 3 backup. and click on create new backup
   so it create new backup and delete all backup from listing and keep latest 3 
   backup.
 * Past this limit older backups will be deleted automatically.
 * The disk that your backup is saved on doesn’t have enough free space? Backup 
   disk is almost full? Low disk space for backup? Backup failed due to lack of 
   space? As you may set up a schedule to automatically do backup daily or weekly,
   and the size of disk space is limited, so your backup disk will run out of space
   quickly or someday. It is a real pain to manually delete old backups. Don’t worry
   about it. WP Database Backup makes it easy to delete old backup files automatically.
