I had time machine running backups on one drive (1-terabyte drive). Then later I switched it to another drive (2 terabyte drive). I need disk space so I dragged the backups from the first drive that no longer uses time machine into the trash. Now the computer won't empty the trash because it sees backup files in there. I tried moving the backups out of the trash onto the original drive. But it won't even do that.' What can I do? |
