I have in error put a load of Time Machine back up folders in the trash. Firstly the "put back" option is missing so I can't use that.
When I select a folder and select "delete" immediately it takes forever.
Is there a solution to this self created issue.
I have looked it up ( too late ) and found that the way that I attempted to delete the folders from Time Machine manually into the trash / bin is not the approved method but I am stuck with them right now in the bin.
Worth noting also that when I turn on my system the time machine icon is missing from the screen for about 15 seconds and then it appears and at the same time the bin shows as having items in it.
I have also seen that you can use Terminal for it.
Cheers
