My last test was interesting. Earlier I was testing with (4) files I created using Notepad. I was unable to get these files to delete. Then I created (3) files by backing up the NorthWind Database. So here are the files I had:

TestFile1.bak

TestFile2.bak

TestFile3.bak

TestFile4.bak

NorthWind1.bak

NorthWind2.bak

NorthWind3.bak

Then I ran the job again and some files where deleted. Here are the file that were not deleted:

TestFile1.bak

NorthWind1.bak

NorthWind2.bak

NorthWind3.bak

Here is my log file showing a Mask = .bak and Files to keep = 2:
