[QUOTE="McBie, post: 1329820, member: 54417"] Be aware that Time Machine uses a database to keep track of its backups. If you fiddle around with the TM backup files manually, you will destroy the integrity of the TM database, resulting in another post here " Help, Time Machine is not working anymore " ... or something along those lines. A better way is to go into Time Machine and in the TM finder, select the file/folder you want to delete and there is a menu item that allows you to delete all occurrences of that file/folder. Hope this helps. Cheers ... McBie [/QUOTE]
