Maintanance Plan and xp_delete_file

Hi there,

i have a mp that deletes old bak, trn and txt files. It works well for bak and trn files, but it never deletes any of the report files created by other MPs.

I also can't delete any of the report files by executing the following statement (as sa or with windows login as a local admin)

EXECUTE master.dbo.xp_delete_file 1,N'D:\Backup\log',N'txt'

System ist SQL Server 2005 SP1 German

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance

The solution seems to involve writing your own deletion script. (Many examples can be found online).

Maintanance job fails

EXECUTE master.dbo.xp_sqlmaint N'-PlanID
95C0459D-8D08-478E-9058-41CA9D0A0F51 -Rpt
"P:\SQLBackup\AllUserDB0.txt" -DelTxtRpt 2WEEKS -WriteHistory
-RebldIdx 10 -RmUnusedSpace 50 10 '
results in www.planprojekt.dk/upload/maint.txt, where the end of the
file states
"SQLMAINT.EXE Process Exit Code: 1 (Failed)"
The error log shows nothing. Only thing left is the report created by
the job. The repo is the one shown in the link above.
So I'm finding it difficult to get to the core of the failure - any
help is greatly appreciated.
Thx in advance.
