Hi,
When acessing "Scheduled Tasks" (/admin/tool/task/scheduledtasks.php), the task name is not showing correctly:
crontask
\tool_clearbackupfiles\task\cron_task
Using "Brazilian Portuguese (pt_br)" language.

The other issue reported by Rodrigo should be resolved.
I would suggest to create a issue on the repository for any future bugs.

I have added CLI_SCRIPT in index.php.

There has been no update to this plugin recently.
Let me test this and address the above concerns.

I'm just wondering if there have been any changes to this plugin so it works without the issues raised on this page?

I did the cleaning through the web admin but it didn't release the space informed, even after running cron.

I get cli - error when start index.php :
root@moodle:/etc# php -f /srv/www/htdocs/moodle/admin/tool/clearbackupfiles/index.php
Command line scripts must define CLI_SCRIPT before requiring config.php
