You give few informations bout your config or settings.  
I guess you missconfigured the pool definition of your job e.g. volume 
retention.

Check if you have lines similar to the following inside your pool definition...

  AutoPrune = yes
  VolumeRetention = 14d
  Maximum Volumes = 15
  Recycle = yes

Best wishes
