Open Backup Properties dialog for the backup job. Go to the Advanced page and in the Run action before backup section, choose from the combo box and edit it to . This will clear the backed up files only if 7 days passed since the first backup run. If you check the Run only once option, the action will be executed only once (when 7 days have passed) and after that it will be disabled.
