[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1204619"] The short answer to this is "intelligently." It keeps track of what you delete and what you keep and deletes the older "snapshot" first, followed by things from the "base" that are no longer needed. Again -- depending on how big your hard drive is, it could take MONTHS for stuff to be completely deleted. I have a 500GB drive backing up a 320GB drive and I can go back and retrieve stuff from more than four months ago still. [/QUOTE]
