Hi, Expert

I have a database backup plan. It does all user databases backups and transaction logs backups. The databases full backups are scheduled at 11:30pm daily. The transaction logs backups are scheduled at 12:00pm daily. Both backup files older than 2 days will be removed. The databases backup are removed as expected. But the transaction logs backup are not removed. Why?

Thanks
 
In the maintenance plan did you tell it to remove both backups? It needs to be set on both tabs.
