- How does one delete files from backup utility?
- Posted by Rgomez2691 on January 15th, 2008
I have backup set to do incremental backups regularly but today backup
utility decided to do another complete backup, almost filling my backup hard
drive. Can anyone help me delete today's files from backup utility?

pounded out on the keyboard:
Open Explorer, navigate to the backup hard drive and remove the file
dated today. Then run the incremental backup.

Somehow, explorer does not allow me to open the backup file. I can only
access it via Backup Utility and then the only option I get is to restore the
file.

If you are deleting the backup file why are you trying to open it?

Open the backup file? I suggested to delete the backup file from the
backup drive, then create the correct backup that you wanted. You can't
remove files from within a backup file if that's what you're trying to
do. You can restore them, but not selectively remove just to reduce the
file size.
