I tried to create a maintenance plan to delete audit trace files that are older than 3 days from disk (were already backed up to tape). I used the wizard to setup a maintenance cleanup task to delete files of type "backup files" or "maintenance plan text reports" because there is no option for trace or other files. I selected "Search folder and delete files based on an extension" and used put "trc" in the extension field.

The plan execute but it does not delete the files that match the criteria. Same plan worked before when it was set to delete files that are older than a week.

Any clues as to why it is not deleting files now? I tried to run it both as a scheduled job and manually.
