      <description>by Shubhendra Doiphode. &amp;nbsp;&lt;p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;no-overflow&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;text_to_html&quot;&gt;The other issue reported by Rodrigo should be resolved.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
I would suggest to create a issue on the repository for any future bugs.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/doiphode/moodle-tool_clearbackupfiles/issues&quot; class=&quot;_blanktarget&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer&quot;&gt;https://github.com/doiphode/moodle-tool_clearbackupfiles/issues&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
Thanks&lt;br&gt;

      <description>by Shubhendra Doiphode. &amp;nbsp;&lt;p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;no-overflow&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;text_to_html&quot;&gt;There has been no update to this plugin recently. &lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
Let me test this and address the above concerns.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>
