Re: Deleting Time Macine Backups

2020-05-26 Thread 'E.T.' via MacVisionaries 

Hi Tim,
   It may have worked. The first attempt, I forgot to check disk space 
but second time I did and afterwards, some space was freed up. But I may 
just wipe the drive and start fresh.

Hi,

Did just nothing happen, or id it seem like something was happening, but 
really nothing did?  I’ve never actually done it that way.  After 
replacing drives, I’ve started a new backup.  I’m wondering if the 
“Delete Old Backups” item there that you’re referring to only deletes 
old backups before the newest most backup, so there is always one left 
behind.  I’ll have to think about this some more and do some testing. 
  Good question.
