I'm mirroring one drive 3TB (left) with another drive 2TB (right).

I've setup a time span for x days so it should fit on the 2TB drive..

But I've noticed that files older then the time span are not removed from the right side?
Am I overlooking something, is there a setting for this?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

FFS doesn't process files that are excluded at all. See also

In Windows you can use forfiles to delete files older than x days. For example, I use:
forfiles /P <Path> /S /M *.mp3 /C "cmd /c echo @file is older than 7 days" /D -7
forfiles /P <Path> /S /M *.mp3 /C "cmd /c del @file" /D -7
to list and then delete files more than 7 days old.
