Thanks. After this purge, the volume will be pretty empty, but I'm
filling up the source disk pretty fast, so maybe it won't be as long as
I thought before the backup drive is full again. Either way, I'm
archiving this message and will revisit the issue the next time it
happens and I try all the suggested remedies--except the one where I
trash the old backups, of course.

I’m guessing there is something going on with the disk. Please remember to
let me know what happens. I’d be curious, and I’ll do some poking around to see
if there are any other potential solutions.

deleted a folder of old backups under another name. Trash is now emptying.
Slowly.

Another shot in the dark here, but if this is a separate drive, try doing a
first aid on it via Disk Utility. Maybe, there is something corrupted with a
file or such. I vaguely recall I had to do this with my Time Capsule in the
past in which I directly connected it to my Mac to do a disk repair many moons
ago.
