[THIN] Re: OT: SQL Maintenance plans don't delete backups

the clearing of old backups is the last step it performs.  If anything
goes wrong, it will skip the step.  I saw this a lot when a backup
plan ran out of disk space.  It would just quit.

I found the easiest thing to do is to run a batch job that clears out
your old files about five minutes before your maintenance plan starts.
