DPM couldn't delete old Recovery Point
Hi Concern,
I have DPM version 2012 R2 and configured Protection Group to backup Exchange Databases. It takes backup by followed protection group policy but didn't delete old Recovery point. I configured 5 days Retention period but I saw the last 6 months Backup stored in DPM and it couldn't delete old recovery point.
Can you advise me why DPM stored all old staff?
Your cooperation will be highly appreciated.

Hi Rolf-42,
Thanks for replying. I had created the policy on the beginning of the DPM deployment. So all backup has been performed under same policy.

Hello Babu007
I have no DPM system to test it myself but maybe this script here is of any help: https://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/DPM-2012-R2-Remove-6167f338
Please be aware that the Technet Gallery will be retired. So I suggest to grab all the scripts regarding DPM from that author quickly.
I hope that helpsCheers
Rolf
