Registry Backup not deleting old folder remnants
« on: March 06, 2017, 11:44:21 pm »
I'm performing a once-a-day registry backup using VSS and settings are to save at least "x" copies and delete copies older than "d" days. Registry Backup deletes the files in the old backup folders but doesn't appear to delete the folders themselves. Merely a nuisance but perhaps needs tweaking if it's not peculiar to my system.

I can't remember if I've passed this on but will do now.

- I had the same/similar problem. Somehow I ended up with a number of empty folders in the "C:\Regbackup" folder and RB never bothered to delete those empty folders.
