I have setup RBS which is working correctly and am trying to get the Maintainer.exe garbage collection setup so that when a user deletes a file from SharePoint the file gets purged from the RBS blob store. I have followed directions on the Technet site but when I run the Microsoft.Data.SqlRemoteBlobs.Maintainer.exe file it finds blobs but won't delete them. Below you can see my output. The part where it says scanned 7 blobs 0 deleted is what I can't figure out. It scans the files but won't delete. If you have any thoughts please respond.
