Hi Bill, Time Machine should do this automatically. Check under System Preferences>Time Machine to see if it's still backing up. There will also be an options button near the lower-right corner of the window; here you can configure if Time Machine notifies you when it deletes an old backup to make room. Let us know whether Time Machine is still doing backups.
