[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1825890, member: 396914"] Bob, it totally depends on how much data is in the backup. In my case the two devices total about 250GB of data, so the backups should be about that size, given that I only have the one backup of each. The problem is that in addition to that 250GB there is an additional 200GB consumed on the hard drive that is NOT part of the backup in any way. And that's what I want back. Patrick, the issue is that NOTHING I have tried has released as much as 1 byte of that 200GB of extra taken on the internal drive. The only thing that released it was to use AppCleaner and FAF to find and destroy every vestige of iMazing. I'm going to give it one more try and set the default backup location to that external drive again BEFORE I let any device attach to iMazing to see if doing it that way keeps the internal clean, but if I end up in the same boat of giving up 450GB of storage for 250GB of backup, I'll ditch iMazing totally. I'll report back. [/QUOTE]
