At first everything seemed to work but at least twice some oddities have occurred that make me wonder about the stability of this plugin. * 1. it left 2 files over that should have been deleted * 2. another time it left 1 file * 3. a duplicate UpdraftPlus folder was created seemingly for no reason * At the moment all is okay again but please keep an eye open for things like this in case it also happens to you. * I find it somewhat odd that nobody from Updraft has responded to this ticket and have considered finding another backup solution. * Thanks. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[UpdraftPlus: WP Backup & Migration Plugin] Previous backups in Dropbox not deleted](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/previous-backups-in-dropbox-not-deleted/) * [rmr65](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rmr65/) * (@rmr65) * [6 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/previous-backups-in-dropbox-not-deleted/page/2/#post-12773721) * I’m starting to suspect the issue might be with backups to Dropbox specifically. As an experiment, I switched to Google Drive. * My settings are to retain 3 daily backups, meaning on the 4th day the oldest backup should be deleted. * In Dropbox it only deleted 3 of the 5 files and as others reported it was causing issues. * In Google Drive, the oldest backup was correctly deleted, all files, as it is supposed to be. * Have only tested for 4 days now and will report back if the trend continues but I am suggesting that those who have posted here may want to try this for themselves. * Hope this helps. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[UpdraftPlus: WP Backup & Migration Plugin] Previous backups in Dropbox not deleted](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/previous-backups-in-dropbox-not-deleted/) * [rmr65](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rmr65/) * (@rmr65) * [6 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/previous-backups-in-dropbox-not-deleted/#post-12716143) * Updraft is only deleting the database and plugins zipped files. The remaining 3 zipped files, Other, Uploads, Themes are not being deleted. * I have followed this for a few days now and confirm this is what happens at least in my situation. * Hopefully a fix can be found for this because meantime I have to manually delete the other files, which is certainly not ideal and also not what I would expect from the plugin. * Thanks. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[UpdraftPlus: WP Backup & Migration Plugin] Previous backups in Dropbox not deleted](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/previous-backups-in-dropbox-not-deleted/) * [rmr65](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rmr65/) * (@rmr65) * [6 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/previous-backups-in-dropbox-not-deleted/#post-12708957) * Have followed this for 2 days now. * Updraft keeps the 3 backups, as I set it to. * But in Dropbox it only removes 2 of the 5 zipped files and 3 remain for each day not included in the 3 to keep. * Obviously, very soon these will pile up and I will run out of space. * Please provide a fix for this issue. * Thanks! * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[UpdraftPlus: WP Backup & Migration Plugin] Previous backups in Dropbox not deleted](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/previous-backups-in-dropbox-not-deleted/) * [rmr65](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rmr65/) * (@rmr65) * [6 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/previous-backups-in-dropbox-not-deleted/#post-12703398) * Hi, * I set Updraft to backup daily and keep 3 copies. But, the 4th copy should have been deleted but was not. Instead 3 of 5 files remain. I have enough space in Dropbox so I know that is not the issue. * Here is the pastebin of the log from 20 April [https://pastebin.com/60f2LCsr](https://pastebin.com/60f2LCsr) * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[UpdraftPlus: WP Backup & Migration Plugin] Previous backups in Dropbox not deleted](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/previous-backups-in-dropbox-not-deleted/) * [rmr65](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rmr65/) * (@rmr65) * [6 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/previous-backups-in-dropbox-not-deleted/#post-12678848) * I’m having the same issue.

I am concerned that somehow the email was spoofed but I guess I will just need to look further into the matter from another angle. * By the way, I just want to say I absolutely love the plugin and always recommend it to people looking for a backup solution. * Thanks again!
