Can I safely delete latest Incr file?
I just upgraded to Win 10 1809 and cloned my old backup task to create a new 1809-only chain of partitions backups. Prior to the upgrade I ran a final backup of my 1803 system. Following the upgrade unintentionally I manually invoked the old, rather than new, backup task. Nothing is actually wrong with that, but I'd rather the old task's backups be just of my 1803 system.
Can I just delete the new Incr file? I know AAP will complain, but I can cope. I know that the ATI database will no longer match the actual backup chain, but I'm not sure what damage, if any, that will cause. If I have to do a recovery I will use an ATI recovery media so the out-of-sync database is not critical, but I might want to mount that final 1803 backup to extract individual files.
I'm currently running the intended new backup, by the way. I will not delete the unintended Incr file until I have a good backup of my current system.

The Cleanup tool did the job but I followed it with a Verify, just in case.
Thank yu for your help.
