    I get cli - error when start index.php :

    root@moodle:/etc# php -f /srv/www/htdocs/moodle/admin/tool/clearbackupfiles/index.php
    Command line scripts must define CLI_SCRIPT before requiring config.php

    moodle 3.6.5

    I did the cleaning through the web admin but it didn't release the space informed, even after running cron.

    I'm just wondering if there have been any changes to this plugin so it works without the issues raised on this page?

    There has been no update to this plugin recently.

    Let me test this and address the above concerns.

    The other issue reported by Rodrigo should be resolved.

    I would suggest to create a issue on the repository for any future bugs.
