Backup Exec 2014 SP2 not deleting Expired Backup Sets

HI

 BE 2014 With Deduplication Disk( upgraded From BE 2012 SP4) is not deleting Expired "Exchange 2013"  VM & Database Backups .

    This problem is supposed to be resolved with SP2.  You should log a support case with Symantec for them to take a look at the problem.
