Because UpdraftPlus (UP) can be set to auto backup before updates it can create quite a lot of unnecessary backups over time. These backups don’t get auto-deleted like scheduled ones do.
So, I’ve made it a habit of coming in once a month and manually selecting all of the various automatic update backups for the prior month and deleting them in bulk. All at once.
Currently isn't any way to select a group of individual backups and delete them in bulk. This doesn’t exist as a feature. I believe it is critical if you are offering a specific extension for UpdraftPlus, it needs to have this basic ability.
