Hi @Dzmitry Zhyvatniuk

Backups are stored in server home directory. Delete them from here:

<home-directory>/backups>

Hi @Dzmitry Zhyvatniuk Supplementing to @Tansu Akdeniz 's answer, if you need to automatically delete the backups, you will have to write a custom script and setup a cron job which will run every day at a scheduled time and delete backups older than a week.

In other words, creating a backup makes Confluence its own resources, and maintaining order in the system is the work of a system administrator.
I agree cron is not difficult and a good solution.
