Maintenance plans not deleting old transaction log backups

I'm the dba for a large company and have setup many maintenance plans for our sql servers. One of the options I have set is to delete old backups of databases and transaction logs after 2 days. For some reason, the old database backups are being deleted, but the old transaction logs backups are not. I have them being put in the same directory. Anybody have any ideas why this is happening and what if any fix is available?

Those are separate items that you check off in the options for each step - are you sure you asked the wizard to do that? If possible, drop the old plans and recreate them, checking that section to make sure you select that option.

Other than missing the check box, I don't know what else might cause this. Both delete operations use the same delete stored procedure, so if one works, the other one should.

If you do change your plans and this happens again, check the event logs and the SQL Server error logs.
