How to ensure only one local backup is kept by a frappe site
You might have noticed that even when you set a frappe site to keep 1 backup in System Settings, that 2 are kept. There is a quick fix for this.

There is a bug in frappe which means the number of local backups kept are not the same as the number you set.
In common_site_config.json you should set the following entry:
"keep_backups_for_hours": 23,
By default this is set to 24 but there is a race condition between daily backups which often means yesterday's backup remains behind.
The bug has been reported here.
