Successful Cleanup does not delete old backups

[tatenalan]

Hello community! I am using "spatie/laravel-backup": "^6.16" in a Laravel 8 project. My cleanup setup is by default. I have the following schedules commands on

My Kernel.php:

protected function schedule(Schedule $schedule)
{
$schedule->command('backup:clean')->daily()->at('22:30');
$schedule->command('backup:run')->daily()->at('22:35');
}

I have a cron configured on my server that runs schedule:run every minute. Everything works great, The backups are successful, they are saved in Storage/App/Laravel folder and I get the successful emails (from both scgeducommands).

The email I get everyday of backup:clean command

Hello!
The clean up of the Laravel backups on the disk named local was successful.
Application name: Laravel

Disk: local

Newest backup date: 2022/10/27 22:35:03

The email I get everyday of backup:run command

Hello!
Great news, a new backup of Laravel was successfully created on the disk named local.
Application name: Laravel
Backup name: Laravel
Disk: local
Newest backup size: 16.97 MB
Number of backups: 18
Total storage used: 293.83 MB
Newest backup date: 2022/10/28 22:35:02
Oldest backup date: 2022/10/11 22:35:03

The problem is that old backups do not get deleted. I stacked 18 already and it should stack only 16 according to Backup.php cleanup config by default. What should I do to only keep the backups from the last 16 days? I do not get any log error or email error.

Thank you in advance!

I am using "spatie/laravel-backup": "^6.16"

Version 6.x has no support, upgrade to Laravel Backup 8.x

Okay I will!
I think I solved it anyway. I changed the backup.php file so the default_strategy array looks like this and it is working:

'default_strategy' => [
'keep_all_backups_for_days' => 16,
'keep_daily_backups_for_days' => 0,
'keep_weekly_backups_for_weeks' => 0,
'keep_monthly_backups_for_months' => 0,
'keep_yearly_backups_for_years' => 0,
'delete_oldest_backups_when_using_more_megabytes_than' => 5000,
],

Thank you!

I am using PHP 7.4 and Laravel Backup 8.x needs a higher PHP version
