I'm trying to reduce the disk space utilized by my Quicken backups. In previous years, I have set the number of backups to 99. This worked fine and was not an issue until I recently ran short on disk space. I've reduced the "Maximum number of backup copies" to 50, 30, and 20 with no change in the number of items in the BACKUP directory! For some reason, I continue to have exactly 81 items in this directory. I've read other threads espousing various theories about how the backup function is or is not working. It seems to work from me (sort of), but I would like to be able to specify the number of items! I check the directory on a regular basis and have a "revolving door" of 81 items and the older items are the ones that are disappearing (as expected).
What ideas do you have? Thank you!
