We have a maintainance plan for all the databases.
It does all the completed backup and Transaction Log backup.
we have instructed the maintainance plan to remove files older than 3 days for both completed backups and Transaction log backups.
But Files older than 3 days is getting removed in complete backup where as it is not the case in transaction log back up.
We have enough disk space also.
Please help

Take look at plan's log file to find out why it didn't delete old log backup files.

Thanks rmaio. I checked the log and found that some databases were in simple recovery mode. I changed it to Full recovery mode. Now Transactional log backups in database maintainance plan works well.
