Running out of space on my 2TB Passport. I use Smart Ware to back up weekly and like it.One of the backups is for a laptop I no longer have. I was using Window 7 Explorer to look at my drive. Under the folder WD SmartWare.swstor folder was a sub folder with the “machine id” of the old PC. Right clicking to delete it gathered up 25.6GB, then asked for administrator password. I gave the password of my current pc. It did something and after about another 10 minutes said ‘access denied’ did I want it to try again. I said yes and never got the chance to enter another. So it failed.
Do I have to enter the adminstrator password (I change every 90 days) that was in effect during its last backup? no idea what that was at the time. …
How can I get rid of the space consumed by this old backup? I just want to force it out
