backup:clean error in some situations

[mhsenpc]

Sometimes I get error in vendor/spatie/laravel-backup/src/Tasks/Cleanup/Strategies/DefaultStrategy.php:116

However I have no idea what situation causes this error because it completely works on normal situations.

DefaultStrategy.php:116 is:
$backups->oldest()->delete();

More Details:
