Files Not Backed Up

There is a file in the “Files Not Backed Up” section.  The file comes from a folder that I no longer include in the backup set.  How do I delete that file from the “files not backed up” section of WD Smartware?

Hello,

Does this happen even when you close the Smartware software and re open it? I would like to know the version of Smartware you are using.

I use version 2.4.2.

Backup stops normally with the file still in “Files Not Backed Up”.  The file stays there even if I close the program and re-start it.
