Manually deleting backup files

edger

I use the AOMEI Backupper Standard Version 5.2.0 (upgraded today to 5.6.0) on Windows 10.

As data do not change that much on my system I only do manual backups once or twice a month.

Nevertheless, the target disk sooner or later becomes full. Therefore my question: can I delete backup files made before a full backup?

In the picture below, can I delete the first 3 files without touching the integrity the full backup in the 4. file? Is this what the scheduler/scheme does in the pro version?

Even after searching the forum back and for I could not find a hint for this problem.

(the full backup at the end of the year was made because I rearranged some hundred pictures)

Yes unless you want to keep more than one set. Some people keep older sets to possibly retrieve a file that was later erased before the next full backup was done. If you don't need anything from further back it will not be a problem to erase older sets.

@ Edger When you perform a new full backup, you can delete previous backups files.
And, maybe you can use the backup scheme feature to delete old backups automatically.
