I’ve had my 1T passport for a while and didn’t realize that I had it set for keeping a large number of backup file copies of my computer. I changed the setting to “1” copy when I realized that I’m almost out of space on the drive. I have also been storing a lot of other files on the drive in their own folders so I don’t want to reformate or delete everything from the drive, just the extra backups. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
deleting the “extra” backup will cause corruption on the entire backup
If the important files are still on your computer, delete the backup folder on its entirty and restart the backup with the new settings.
You can go to the drive and delete the smartware.stor folder that has all backup files. If you are not certain your files are still on the computer, restore the files you need , delete the backup and then run the backup again.
Deleting individual files from a backup will create problems.
