I have a maintenance plan to delete files older than 3 days which runs once a night however there are files in each database folder that are older than three days. The "View Job History" shows that the job execute without any problems, I have checked the " Include first-level subfolders" and the radio button "Maintenace Clean Up Task" & " Clean up History". What would the issue be, is it that SQL doesn't delete sub directory folders?

You might check to see if the files are valid backups (RESTORE HEADERONLY FROM DISK=N'questionedfiles'. I have read at times if the backup is corrupt or in some other way not valid that the process will not actually delete the file.

The are, but it looks like the problems is that I have ".bak" instead of "bak" in the extension box.
