Updraft BackUp Files From Website Not Automatically Deleting

Hey everyone, I currently have two websites that I use Updraft Plus on. I have synced the plugin with Dropbox to store the back ups.

On website #1 the backups run as I anticipate, it runs the backup automatically, stores the files on Dropbox and then Dropbox deletes the older versions of the files automatically. 

However on website #2, where I have the same set up, things are a little different. The old back up files are not deleted from Dropbox. Eventually my Dropbox account fills up and I have to manually delete the files. 

I would really like to get the back up functions of website #2 working like they are on website #1. I have looked through forums and never seen this problem solved, although I very well could have missed it. 

If anyone has any ideas I'd be very appreciative. 

Thanks

    As the issue actually relates to functionality with a third party plug in you'll need to speak to them about whats happening.
