I was able to delete the earlier back up (152GB) while in the program using "clean up versions". Doing so also removed the same backup file from my USB external disk , a task that windows would not or could not perform. The entire process did leave a new file (12.0 KB) on my USB disk and I don't know what that is.

The little 12kb .tibx file contains essential metadata that should not be deleted!
