Deleting unused or repeat backup files.

Post by JimmyR »

Hi Folks.

I've been using FBackup for a while now. When I initially set it up, I did not select the option to delete the old backup before starting the new one.

As a result, I have a massive (over a terabyte) folder using up most of my storage space. When I go into the FBackup Folder, I am not permitted to delete the older files.

How do I clean up the folder to make space?

Thanks in anticpation
James

Hi,

What is the backup type you use in FBackup: Full or Mirror?
Both Full and Mirror types will keep only the latest version of the backup.
If you cannot manually delete files from destination, there could be a permission issue which explains why FBackup was not able to also delete the old backups.
