Cobian Reflector • Deleting Differential copies between Full copies

Corrected - Differential and Full copy number from 3 to 2.

I am trying to set up Reflector 2.3.6 to take daily Differential copies between weekly Full copies. When a weekly Full copy is made, the previous 6 daily Differential copies are deleted. To test this I am using 120 minute timer and only 2 Differential copies between Full copies. My problem is Reflector is not deleting any Differential copies.

All file locations are on one machine. Reflector is installed as an "Application auto start for all users". The User that is logged on is a local system Administrator and can delete the Differential copies manually.

I set up the test Task as default plus the following changes:
General tab –
Backup type: Differential Backup
Schedule tab –
Schedule type = Timer
Timer = 120
Dynamics tab –
Full copies to keep =50
Differential copies to keep =2
Make a full backup every =2
Archive tab –
Compression Type = Compress files individually
Advanced tab –
Include backup type in the name = checked

Attached are screen shots of Windows File Explorer, Reflector Log and History tabs.

Is this a bug, or have I setup the Task wrong?
Thanks,
bwhit
