Why you want to delete the old qvd's here? If qvd deletes may be schedule failed then what you do. Can you describe more?

If you allow executing external commands, you can do it using EXECUTE. You can read about EXECUTE in my blog:

Q-Tip #7 – Execute a Command Using EXECUTE | Natural Synergies

You might need to enable it on your server, before it can work.
