Backup Maintenance job failing (-1073548784)

Hi,
I have created a maintenance job that fails at cleaning up the old backup
files. Messages of the Maintenance job are:
Task detail:
>Maintenance Cleanup on Local server connection
>Cleanup Database Backup files
>Age: Older than 3 Days
Error Number:
>-1073548784
Error Message:
>Executing the query "EXECUTE master.dbo.xp_delete_file 0,N'',N'',N'2007-12-09T11:00:24'
>" failed with the following error: "Error executing extended stored procedure: Invalid Parameter". Possible failure reasons: Problems with the query, "ResultSet" property not set correctly, parameters not set correctly, or connection not established correctly.
Any ideas why the cleanup is not working, and how to fix this ?
Ensure that you defined a Folder path in the Define Maintanence Cleanup Task
window. It's empty by default and if you leave it empty then you get this
error.

|||The path is indeed empty. When I try to modify/edit the database maintenance
cleanup task, the dialogs let me fill in a path but the OK button remains
greyed out. Is there a special procedure required to edit this ?.

Had to fill in the extension, and now the OK button is available.
