I NEED to delete some old backup to free up space...

About says I have version 2.5.2900... Tried all the ideas in 943904... Can open first level child folders in "Window OneCare backup" folder but not sub folders...

How can I get full access through all the children folders...

ONE THING I NOTICED... The instructions regarding backup deletion mention that from V2 the folder end with \computer name\year

MY folder are suffixed with A/B/C - how do i know which one is the most up to date...

See this post for how to delete backups:

I guess that I need to run backup a few times to see this naming convention, but I suspect that they are suffixed A/B/C based on the number of reinstalls you may have performed. C would be the latest set if I am correct.
