OS X 10.10.3 Why does TimeMachine think it needs to delete old backups? My external 3GB drive used for TM backups is nearly empty, with 2.7GB free. In TM Preferences it says “The oldest backups are deleted when your disk becomes full”, yet after the last backup it deleted 2 ‘expired’ backups. What is going on?
