Delete specific versions of a backup

Thread needs solution

I have one Full backup and three differential versions based upon it.

The drive is now full and I would like to delete just the oldest one and then make a new differential copy of the backup.

This was easy in 2014. i just browsed the timeline and deleted the version. How do you do the same in 2015?

Thanks,

Rich

I second this question, and further it to ask if it is possible to automate the deletion of versions in a sequence similar to the version chain scheme, but with more control. I know that there is the automatic clean up functionality but that will automatically delete a whole version chain at a time instead of a single version at a time. What I would like to do as have more control over the Version Chain Scheme, such as how many versions are created before creating a new version chain.

Good. Not just me then. As far as I can find there is not automated way to limit copies and no way to delete them other than doing it by hand using windows which then messes up the database.
