Can I delete an incremental backup?

Thread needs solution

I started an incremental backup that I did not wish to do as I had the wrong partition selected. I stopped the backup when I realized what I had done.

Can I just manually delete the last incremental backup that I did in error?

Yes, this can be done from inside the "edit backup settings" option.
However, for best results you should create a new task with the proper settings and point the the new task to it own folder--not used by any other tasks.

Edit:
If you have other backups which you want to retain in this task, then you must delete the bad one from inside Widows Explorer. Doing the delete from inside the "edit backup settings" would cause the delete of the entire backup.

Start a new task and save your self a lot grief. After deletion inside Explorer, do a manual validation if you retained any files within the task.
