CA Backup leaves folders behind in appdata directory

Im using CA Backup / Restore Appdata to backup appdata share, 

 

When it runs, it seems to create 2 folders in the root of the appdata share that i can only remove via CLI - these are:

 

Community_Applications_USB_Backup

Community_Applications_VM_XML_Backup

 

Permissions don't let me even open the USB Backup folder when browsing the appdata share, 

 

All the data seems to copy fine as part of the backup to the destination share, its just annoying that it leaves these 2 folders behind!

thanks for coming back to me, i just couldn't work out why these folders were left in this location and not removed once they have moved to the backup location. I thought it was a fault, so i read a few posts and upgraded to v2 of the ca backup plugin - which isn't doing the same thing, so once problem sorted - although i don't think that the backup of USB drive will create new folders for each date it is backed up?
