for Code: 0xC002F210 Source: Maintenance Cleanup Task Execute SQL Task Description: Executing the query "EXECUTE master.dbo.xp_delete_file

This problem occurs because the first line of the report contains the following text:
NEW COMPONENT OUTPUT
The "xp_delete_file system" stored procedure examines the first line of the report to determine whether it's a database maintenance plan report or not. If the first line reads, "NEW COMPONENT OUTPUT," the "xp_delete_file system" stored procedure cannot recognize the report as a database maintenance plan report.

Solution:
To resolve this problem, obtain Cumulative Update Package 2 for SQL Server 2005 Service Pack 2. The Microsoft Knowledge Base article on how to obtain Cumulative Update Package 2 is here:

936305 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/936305/) Cumulative Update Package 2 for SQL Server 2005 Service Pack 2

To work around this problem, delete the first line of the report if the first line is, "NEW COMPONENT OUTPUT." The report will be deleted the next time you use the clean-up task

That looks as though you left both the Folder and Extension fields blank when you configured the Maintenance Plan Cleanup Task. Typically, one would enter someting like this in the Folder text box:

G:\MSSQL\BACKUP

and something like this in the Extension text box:
