Hello Roger and all, This is a true process, but an easier way of doing this is to go to the folder that you had created from the back up utility. Once you find the folder you want to erase, press backspace with dots 2356 and it will say erase folder and all contained files, sure, press y and the first time it wont erase but if you press it again it will then erase all contained files and the folder and that is it. robert ----- Original Message ----- From: "adaptive information systems" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Sunday, May 01, 2005 7:20 PM Subject: [Braillenote] erasing backup folders with keysoft 6.11
