TimeMachine
Hi All!!
A silly question that is not related to PT at all.. i am sure some of you have come across this and i don't seem to find an answer on the apple site.. I had a time machine backup on a drive and i have deleted the backup folder but have not retrieved my space... It happened to me previously and had to reformat the drive to clear the space. Is there a way of clearing the space/deleting TM backups without reformatting? Thanks in advance, Mo

Re: TimeMachine
Empty the trash . The drive will not show freed space until you empty it

Oops! Forgot to mention I did empty the thrash, ...wish that would be the case... Emptying the bin does not free the space in this case. Thanks for the reply though.

Re: TimeMachine
Emptying the trash should do the trick unless you've aborted a TM backup in progress.. in which case I'm guessing all kinds of nasty things could happen.
You might try Tech Tool Pro on your drive to see if that helps. I have trashed TM backups before, and have regained the disc space, so I know that it works. |
