Deleting Full Backups
I just upgraded from 2014. I run full image backups to an external hard drive twice a week. Gradually space requires cleanup. With 2014 version I could delete older versions. It took me a long time to figure this out for 2014 (it was very buried in the user manual.) With 2015 version I'm having the same problem trying to find or figure out how to do it. Help!

For future backups,
The best method is set up an new task with new backup scheme to automatically delete the old files which the program reaches your desired retention quota which is the 'store x number of versions" which is illustrated in the next link.
For manual deletion of backups
With the 2015 version, the manual deletion must be performed via the Windowsw Explorer/Delete option. The 2015 verson does not provide a method of deletion from within the progam.
For 2015,
From the main menu,
click the backup task
Click the operations button(bottom row)
Click the Open location
Right click on any specific TIB file and choose the Delete from the RIGHT click menu.
Upon completion of the deletion,
Re-Click on the Main Menu Backup task
Click Recovery Files Button (Bottom row)
and respond to any missing file messages by clicking the ignore option.
Click Cancel to return to main menu.
CAUTION!
BE CAREFUL not to use the Operations/Delete button as that DELETE Option WILLL DELETE ALL YOUR TIB FILES CREATED BY THAT SPECIFIC TASK.
