Yes thanks as always Tim. I was missing the step to access the Actions menu.

Hi,

I've pasted in my instructions I sent out last Fall.  Hopefully, they're useful 
to you.

******

1.  Up to the Extras menu and choose Time Machine.
2.  Select Enter Time Machine.

This will automatically bring you to the newest Time Machine backup.  To access 
older ones...

3.  Use the Window Chooser (VO-f2-f2) and choose Time Machine Controls.

There will be a Vertical Slider in this Controls window where you can go 
through the backups you have, or you can press the Previous button to go back 
through them.  When you have the date and time of the backup you wish to 
remove, or use in some other fashion, use the Window Chooser to get back to the 
other window once again.  If you wish to remove the entire backup for that 
timeline...

4.  Go to the Sidebar, under Devices and choose your computer.
5.  Interact with the Scroll area and select your HD.
6.  Up to the Toolbar, under the Actions menu and choose Delete this Backup.

*****

Later...

  Its been too long since I did this and have not done it under Sierra. Once I 
enter TM and find its controls, how do I select a date and delete the backups 
up to that date? I used the slider but cannot recall what the next step is. 
Thanks.
