Unless you're using your Time Machine drive for other things that may
cause it to run out of space, you don't have to concern yourself with
deleting old backups. Time Machine does that for you automatically as
the disk fills up, and tells you when it does so.

Hi Tim,
Many thanks for the tip on looking in the Windows list for time machine
controls. When I do that I see a button labelled previous and if I pressed that
several times I can see dates of Time Machine backups. If I then comeback to
the windows list and move to the finder window to choose my hard disk and then
go to the context menu I see options to delete backup and delete all backups.
To free up space I want to safely delete all backups before my chosen backup
date. So which option should I choose? I do not want to experiment as I do not
want to risk the integrity of backups newer then the chosen backup date.
Many thanks.
