My drive is full - Maybe duplicate files

I think I maybe don’t quite get the language in the manual or could be missing something?

My drive is full and it’s 3 times larger than my laptop.  I’m assuming it would be cos of duplicate files.  Does anyone know how to delete stuff I don’t need?

There are third party applications that allow you to search and delete redundant files.

Make sure you do not delete files from the backup folders as this might cause corruption on the backup.

The fact that the drive on the computer is smaller does not mean the external drive can not get full.

This will only depend on how much data you put on there.

For example, you can transfer files to the external drive that you want to keep and delete them from the computer since you don’t have enough space. Over time this will fill up your drive with files you stored there.
