Replying to Backupbuddy Not Deleting Backups Reliably After Sending Them To Amazon S3

@Eric, this is resolved now,

@Kevin, if you hava a valid subscription, and still can't access the forum, contact me (ronald@ithemes.com) with your username and e-mail address you used when purchasing BackupBuddy,

The login process is broken. I can login to my member panel (where you download software), but when you click the "support forum" link within the member panel, you are redirected to the forum and must login again. When I attempt to login to the forum with same user/pass, I get denied. I've even reset my password to troubleshoot...no luck.

I imagine that this may be why the member above posted in this public forum.....because we simply can't gain access to the proper forum.

Just FYI.

I have quite a few sites running BackupBuddy 2.2.35 on site5 hosting.  Many of them create large backup files.  A relatively small one is around 200MB.  The largest is 1.7GB.  The scheduled backups send the backup file to an Amazon S3 account and is set to "Delete local copy after remote send".  The backup files are consistently sent to Amazon S3 but about half the time the file is not deleted after it is sent over.  This causes clients' hosting accounts to fill up with junk files.  How can I make sure these files are deleted after the backup is sent to Amazon?

Thanks!
Kevin
