1. There was a good volume with a Full Backup and then 2 or 3 incrementals after that. 2. The next incremental said it could not find a good Full Backup so it made another Full. 3. I checked the next Incremental and it did see the last Full Backup. So I assume *something* happened to the Full Backup, not sure what that could be at this point but now I am using double the disk space (this is a disk backup) so I wanted to release that space as the space will remain used until Max Full Interval is reached. I read somewhere in the list archive that you must manually remove the volume on disk (assuming one Volume per Backup) if you want to free up the space. So I want to make sure that the Volume *should* get physically deleted when the Max Full Interval is reached, is that so? This assuming one volume per backup, AutoPrune and Recycle are yes.
