Old archives are not being removed. I had to clear out 4 weeks of archives my 'hand'
I'm having the exact same issue, archives not being removed. Had no idea until I spotted this issue, there's no shortage of archives in there to remove!
The change that ralish posted seems to have corrected the issue. I will keep an eye on it for a little while to make sure the problem remains solved.
I didn't actually notice this issue until your earlier comment on my pull request @yugrotavele. So yes, hopefully this is an effective fix and resolves this issue, but do let me know if you run into any issues with it. Thanks.
