Hi,

I have an external usb HD that I save my Complete PC Backups to and
can't figure out how to delete a specific one. don't want to delete all of
them, just a specific one. Have 5 on the HD and it's not the oldest, or
newest. Any ideas?

Jeff

If you right click on it in windows explorer and select delete what happens?

When I open the Windows Backup on the external drive, it is not formatted
with separate Complete PC Backups, it uses incremental backups for more than
just the initial backup and has a catalog, Am not familiar with the
procedure.
Don't want to just delete the whole backup folder.

Hi Jeff,

First backup: Complete
2nd backup: Incremental, so just the changes since the first.
3rd backup: Incremental, so just the changes since the second.
4th backup: Incremental, so just the changes since the third.
5th backup: Incremental, so just the changes since the fourth.

Remove any one of the 2nd, 3rd or 4th, and you would be missing bits. So, I
think you'll either have to leave them all as is, or start again.

Catch me on Messenger
