Unable to delete old, disconnected backup

Thread solved

I cannot get rid of an old backup that is on a network file share which no longer exists. I'm just stuck in a circle as it will not remove it from the history. Any suggestions to remove this entry will be greatly appreciated.

Michael, welcome to these public User Forums.

When you take the option to Delete the backup task, do not select to delete everything instead just select to remove the backup settings.

If the network path is no longer valid then there are no files to delete!

Thank you very much. I never would have figured that out. To me, the word "Delete" seemed the correct choice and I was stuck in a loop based on the KB article I had found.
