I have created a SQL Server Maintenance plan to first created a backup the databases nightly and then delete any file other than three days. The backups are successfully being created however the backup files older then three days are not being delete. I have done the same simple procedure in the past in other database server it just not working on this one. I am not receiving any fail alerts on any sort. ???

what options have you set on the cleanup task?
told it to transvers subfolders if you have 1 cleanup task for all database backups?
