Description

I was checking the file storage and found multiple backup directories of TypeScript plugins inside Sublime Text 3.
Is this expected? When backup directory is created? Why old backups are not deleted automatically on new backup?

OS: macOs Mojave
Sublime: 3.2.1

Output of du ./Library/Application Support/Sublime Text 3/Backup
Note: If I remove the plugin, it do delete ./Library/Application Support/Sublime Text 3/Packages/TypeScript/ directory however do not delete these backup directories automatically. I had to delete all manually.
