Can I delete a file from a recent Incremental B-Up to remove a cetain program?

Hello all,
Hope that you & your family et al are all staying safe.
The back ground...
I do weekly back-ups consisting of one (1) FULL then two (2) Incrementals to my external HDD.
During this last Incremental back-up, dated 11th Sept., I decided to un-install Adobe Reader DC (after ATI had completed), as it seemed to be causing errors on my WIN7 desk top PC lately.
Anyhow, I opened the Incremental in Explorer & navigated to the desired program/s folder. No probs finding it.
Now to my Q?...
Can I delete the Adobe Reader DC program folder from that Incremental....perform a VALIDATION on it & be O.K?
or...Do I have to do the same to the other Incremental as well as the FULL back-up?
NB: I have un-installed Adobe Reader DC & now have Foxit PDF Reader instead.
The reason for this question is that, in case of a need to restore from the back-up, that Adobe Reader DC will be re-installed.
&...I definitely do NOT want that to occur.
Many thanks for any info on the correct procedure.
Regs, Rajah..

Hello Steve,
Nice to hear from you.....once more. :)
Thanks for the info.
I just hope that I do NOT have to use ACRONIS to back-up my system before the next 3 to 4 week cycle starts up.
Stay safe.
