We came across several postings in Forums about Maintenaceplan cleanup task not deleting the backup files if backups of databases were created under separate folders. This helped us take immediate action to address it in our service pack(SP).

This issue is now addressed in Service Pack 1. The private beta of SP1 is released and public beta release of SP1 is expected to be sometime this month.

Thanks for all your feedback and we hear and value every feedback we get!
