Old backups does not get deleted

Post by Delbay »

Hi !

I dont know why its doing this, but my old backup dont get deleted, I just get and error code=550
Can't remove directory: Directory not empty. Then no files at all are deleted in the old backup.
So I have to connect on the FTP , and delete them manually.

Any idea what it could be ? thx !

Are there any hidden files on the directory?

What kind of server is that?

No hidden files, this is a regular FTP server hosted by godaddy

Try to uncheck Unencrypted data channel in your connection if it's checked.

That option is uncheck. I monitored the logs and I realized that the error does not occur with every backup but it is random, though frequent.

Seems like the server is caching the newly added files. What type of server are you using?
