i am a new user, and have cerated too many back up files of my hard drive. is there a way to delete some of them with still the ability to use some of them? looks like the file size on some is vastly different.

post a screen capture of your storage folder showing the listing of files sorted in date/time sequence.

The answer will mostly depend upon which type backup files you have.

If full only with no inc or dif involved, any full can be deleted.
If Full plus Inc, only the newest Inc can be deleted. The chain must remain sequential from beginning to end.
Each inc has only pieces of that period onliy, so any deletion of older inc fies will cause all Inc to be useless.

If Full plus Dif, the the oldest dif can be deleted and keeping the newest dif.

Please review my singature link 2-1, and also link #1. Many answers can be found there.

Is the task which created the files you wish to delete still in use?
