From: The Wolf on 20 Apr 2008 10:16 Is is safe to go into the backups folder of Time Machine and delete older backups manually to free up hard drive space? Or is it like iPhoto or iTunes where you can mess up the library?

Doing it manually is probably a bad idea, as you might delete a file to which a later backup is pointing. (If a file hasn't changed since the last backup, it doesn't save the whole file again, just a pointer to the previous version.) However, you can go into the Finder's Time Machine UI and delete backups that way, using the items on the gear dropdown menu.

In fact, if you attempt to delete a file from your backup, you're informed that the operation cannot be completed because backup files cannot be modified. -- <http://designsbymike.net/shop/mac.cgi> Mac and geek T-shirts & gifts <http://designsbymike.net/election.shtml> Election 2008 goods. <http://designsbymike.net/shop/prius.cgi> Prius shirts/bumper stickers <http://designsbymike.net/shop/greet.cgi> Holiday cards with attitude
