Gitlab not deleting backups

We are using a AWS ec2-instance for gitlab with omnibus installation, Recently gitlab has not been deleting the backup files and disk is filling up. I am not sure which log i should be seeing for this issue.

When i do sudo gitlab-rake gitlab:backup:create --trace so there is no error message, what could be the reason for not deleting the old backups? Please point me in the right direction.

Deleting old backups ... done. (0 removed)

my backup configuration:

### Backup Settings
###! Docs: https://docs.gitlab.com/omnibus/settings/backups.html

 gitlab_rails['manage_backup_path'] = true
 gitlab_rails['backup_path'] = "/var/opt/gitlab/backups"

###! Docs: https://docs.gitlab.com/ce/raketasks/backup_restore.html#backup-archive-permissions
 gitlab_rails['backup_archive_permissions'] = 0644

# gitlab_rails['backup_pg_schema'] = 'public'

###! The duration in seconds to keep backups before they are allowed to be deleted
 gitlab_rails['backup_keep_time'] = 604800

Gitlab -version

gitlab-ce 10.2.2

i could not find why its happening but to solve it, i have created another cron job to delete the backups that deletes if its past 2 days.

0 8 * * tue,thu,sat find /var/opt/gitlab/backups/15* -mtime +1 -type f -delete
