Hi, From the Time Machine area that you mention here, you can delete backups of specific folders or files. For example, from the Finder, press cmd-shift-h to open your Home folder, then go up to the Time Machine extras menu and activate the Enter Time Machine item. As long as your Time Machine disk is available, you'll hear a few swishes and ticks, then a new window will open displaying the same list of folders in your Home folder, but this one is your Time Machine versions of these items. So, if you wished to delete all the old backups of your iTunes folder, you'd open the Music folder, select the iTunes folder, then navigate to the Toolbar and interact with it. In the Toolbar, there is an Action menu item, VO-space on that and choose Delete All Backups of this item. Therefore, all previous backups of your iTunes folder will be deleted, freeing up space. The iTunes folder should start backing up again on your next Time Machine cycle. Later...

If TM is on menu extras (enabled in Time Machine preferences), there is a menu selection labeled Enter Time Machine. In this window that displays are the time lines. I know one can delete TM backups here but how, I have not figured out. My TM drive is not near full so have no need but this would be good information. From E.T.'s Keyboard...
