Keep X latest episodes does not work

I have plex set to Keep the 3 latest episodes but it just keeps recording without ever deleting . After a few days I have 6-7 episodes and it’s still going. As I understand the deletion occurs during scheduled tasks, but I do not believe this is happening. I have all scheduled tasks checked (active), but still no deletion after 3 episodes. .

Does anyone have this working successfully? Did you need to do anything special in plex or your destination storage device?

Are you watching the episodes? If so, you’ll need to use “Delete episodes after playing.” “Keep” only affects unplayed episodes. And neither setting deletes partially watched episodes; those you’ll need to delete manually.
