Can I delete old backups from my ext drive that I no longer need?
I just began using a new Dell computer. Previously, I was running an HP computer, which has died completely.
Since the old HP computer is now in the recycle center's garbage dumpster, minus its hard drive and its motherboard, I clearly no longer need those backups. I can access the old hard drive from the HP, and I'm doing that on the new Dell.
While I was running the HP, I was using ATI 2015 to make full and incremental backups to an external Toshiba hard drive plugged into a USB port. I'm still doing that with the new Dell computer.
But I'd like to make more space available on the Toshiba hard drive.
Can I simply use typical file manager techniques, to select and then cut (delete) backups I know are from the old computer? The Toshiba has three folders that seem to contain files related to the HP. They are G:\Acronis Backups; G:\Images(Tom-HP); and G:\My Files (Tom-HP).
At the moment, I have only made one initial full backup of the new Dell. That file is in the Acronis Backups folder. The Acronis Backups folder also contains all the full and incremental backups I made on the old HP.
Or is there a proper way to delete unneeded backups from within Acronis? If there is, I haven't found it.
Thx.
