[QUOTE="Slydude, post: 1631093, member: 131855"] The file will remain in your Time Machine backup until the Time Machine drive gets full enough that it needs to start deleting old backups. How long it remains after that depends upon how many backups need to be deleted before Time Machine gets to the one that contains that file. That usually takes a while depending upon size of the drive and amount of data being backed up. If it is something you need to archive long term preserve a copy on something more permanent such as DVDs, [/QUOTE]
