My computer is full

I have the WD passport 1TB for PC.  I need to make room on my PC for more pictures.  I assume that if I delete existing pictures off my PC that they will still be on my WD passport for future reference via my PC.  Is this correct thinking?  The whole auto backup has me a little confused; I think of a hard drive as something that just sits there idle until I dump something onto it like a flash drive or card.

Thanks,

Hello,

If you plan to use your drive for storage then I recommend that you just copy your files to the drive instead of using the backup software. Please note that having you files stored only in one location is not considered a backup.

You may use drag and drop or copy and paste.
