Ques; can "both" files the db backup (.bak) file "and" the (.txt)report file in a maint plan object be cleaned up at same time?

The object is working ok but trying to setup and match backup text reports to the db, I have way more .bak files than text files.

Created from/after db maint plan (which is working ok) from/in the object Maintenance Cleanup Task and the object selections are

Delete files of the following type:
_backup files
_maintenance plan text reports

File location:
_delte specific file
File name: __
_search folder and delete files based on an extension
Folder:__
File extension:__
File age:
_Delete files based on the age of the file at task run time...
delete files oder than the following. . . .

Both should run at the same time...
Did you check the time stamp of the backup files and mp report files...
How much time difference do you see between backup files and report files and number of days to delete the old files are the for both configurations?
