Question about pruning

My job keeps 1 generation and no deleted files.
Pruning zips is on.
Today I checked the prune option and it found 33k deleted files, that are still in the backup archives.

Letting AISbackip prune those files had the desired effect, freeing up space.

How can I make AISbackup automatically prune every time I run backup?

The default pruning in AISBackup is the ‘Advanced pruning’ option, this keeps a number of daily, weekly and monthly backups. You may change this setting by using the Session settings.

Manage Backup / Change Backup Job Settings / Session Settings / Select Session Based / Then Keep and choose the number of versions to keep (possibly more than 1 to safeguard against accidentally overwriting files).

I’m sorry for the delay answering this question.
