**Your software**  
My Mautic version is: v4.4.10  
My PHP version is: 7.4.33  
My Database type and version is: 10.11.8-MariaDB-ubu2204-log

**Your problem**

Hello everyone! I’m trying to perform a cleanup on my Mautic instance using the command `mautic:maintenance:cleanup --days-old=30` directly via SSH. Currently, if I run the command with `--dry-run`, it shows me the following records:

However, when I run the command again _without_ `--dry-run` (which should perform the cleanup), it quickly returns to the SSH command prompt. Then, if I use `--dry-run` again afterward, it displays the _same_ records as before, suggesting that the command didn’t actually work:

Hello everyone! I managed to solve the problem by changing the command input from `s` to `y`. Due to a translation issue (as you can see in the image, the system suggests s/n instead of y/n), the command wasn’t executing properly. With this change, I was able to successfully perform the cleanup.

**To all Brazilian users who may be facing this issue: this is the solution.**
