EXTREMELY IMPORTANT: Please attach a ZIP file containing your Akeeba Backup log file in order for us to help you with any backup or restoration issue. If the file is over 10MiB, please upload it on your server and post a link to it.
I have set quota management to keep 2 copies of backups only, however, this setting seems to be ignored as I have 4 copies. I think I have the settings correct.
Please note that pre-processing copies the backup onto OneDrive and was usually deleted from here
Quotas do run and do remove old files:

Your settings will result in three (3) backups being kept because "Current backup participates in remote file quotas" is disabled. This means that you get to keep the latest backup you took, and the 2 previous backups (since Count Quota is enabled and set to 2). If you want the current backup to participate in the quota calculations so that you only keep 2 files please enable the aforementioned option (second row in your screenshot).
Beyond that, do keep in mind that quotas are calculated against database records, not against files stored in the remote storage. If you had an older backup which does not have a corresponding record in the database anymore, Akeeba Backup knows nothing about it and its file on OneDrive will not participate in the quota management. So, 3 backups normally keep, plus one leftover backup would make 4.
Finally, do keep in mind that quotas are calculated per backup profile. If you have two backup profiles and the fourth backup is take in with that other profile it will not participate in the quota management of your backup profile #1.
