How to remove TestDisk Backups
Posted: 09 May 2021, 21:51
Thanks in advance for anyone who clicked on the title -- as a preface I am in over my head and can provide any additional details needed / apologise if this is a simple solution. Could not find any answers online.
I accidentally created 5 partial backups of the same HDD (accidentally and due to insufficient space). Now the SSD I am backing up the files to is full - I am struggling to find where to delete these 5 clones and begin again. I have saved them to filefolders in the SDD, but they appear empty when I view them via filemanager and deleting them does not free up space.
I can provide images of where the backup folders are / where I can see I have created multiple backups of the same partition (for now I am trying again on a USB and do not want to create a sixth partial clone).
TLDR - how to delete a partition BACKUP to free up space on the backup drive
Thanks again - I can clarify any details that are unclear.
