Backup Cleanup of Diffential and Log backups based on Full backup

    Hi

    Using Ola Hallengren's scripts I do a full backup of a database on a Sunday. Then differential backups every 6 hours and log backups every hour. I would like to keep a full week of backups based off the full backup done on Sunday. Is there a way for me to clear out the diff and log folders after the successful full backup on Sunday nights?

    Thanks

    Kathy

    I decided to use Powershell to delete the log and differentials right after a successful full backup

    I use Maintenance plan (Maintenance Cleanup Task) and point to the folders where backup files stores.
