Hi Team,

I could see that there is an issue in the proxmox VE 7.1-12,

I am deleting the old backup jobs and creating the new jobs, but still the other day I could see that the Old jobs are coming again,

Even if I am deleting the backup jobs it is again displaying on the backup page,

I request you to please help me with this so that once the backup is deleted it should not come again,

Please check this screenshot for better understanding

so the deletion seems to have worked - if the jobs re-appear, can you try to correlate this with any admin actions?
 
Thank you so much for the support

I will check that once the next day if the jobs do not appear then it is good, if they again appear will have to check how to permanently remove
