How do i delete the previous backups from HP surestore PD5000z?

I have been using the HP PD5000z to backup my main hard drive for a couple of years.
I now receive the error that the back up is too large and need to either reduce the files being backed up or delete files from the PD5000z.
How do i know which files to delete from the previous back ups on the PD5000z?
The amount of space used on the main drive is 476GB versus a back up drive size of 500GB, so there is enough total space.  The previous backups are taking up too much space?
Thanks

  • Can I delete the previous backups from iCloud on my iPhone 5?

    I just got My iPhone 5 as well as a iPad 4. But I purchased the wrong iPad - before I returned the first one it backed itself up with iCloud and as we'll as the info from my iPhone 4S. It shows that I'm out of storage space but when I go to manage my storage I have info from I phone 4s and my first iPad 4 purchase. I exchanged my first iPad 4 a few days after because I wanted wifi as well as the other 3 or 4 g service.
    i Think I'm just taking up space but what's actually stored is just the same crap over and over.

    Go to settings-icloud-storage and back up and you can see each back up on your icloud, and delete the ones you don't want.

    You cannot transfer from the iPhone to the computer.
    You must move the contents of your old computer to the new one directly.
    Use an external hard drive perhaps or restore your old computer backup to your new computer.
    The iPhone is not the source of your data, that is the computer, the iPhone is only a slave device to iTunes.

    You can't delete an account, you can only stop using it.  If you're getting that error message you won't be able to create a new account on your device.  Your only options are to re-use one of the accounts previously created, or create a new account on a different iOS device or Mac (running OS X Lion or higher), if you have one.

  • How do i delete the previous owners phone number on iMessage on my iPhone 5?

    How do i delete the previous owners phone number from imessage in my iphone5?

    You did NOT erase all content in the phone if the previous owner's phone number is still associated with iMessage. Erasing all content will put the phone in an as new state, requiring activation, which you can NOT do without a SIM card. If the original owner did not remove their iCloud account and they had find my iPhone turned on, you would not be able to activate it at all without the credentials for the original owners iCloud account.
    Can you still contact whoever you got it from?
    If so, have them go through this process on the phone: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5661
    If not... you may have been scammed.

  • HT4847 I am unable to delete the last backup from icloud, i checked my all device setting but it still say "cannot delete icloud this time because it is in use,"Please tell me what should i do.

    I am unable to delete the last backup from icloud, i checked my all device setting but it still say "cannot delete icloud this time because it is in use,"Please tell me what should i do                             

    It still didn't work...
    Within this commonfiles\apple folder, there is only one folder, labeled "Internet Services." Within this folder, there are 6 folders, labeled:
    APLZOD.resources
    BookmarkDAV_client.resources
    CoreDAV.resources
    iCloud.resources
    iCloudServices.resources
    ShellStreams.resources
    Within all but CoreDAV and BookmarkDAV_client, there are multiple different folders, all labeled starting with a two letter (acronym I believe, for different languages) then .lproj (for example, a folder is labeled "ar.lproj".
    In each of the folders of APLZOD.resources, there is a file labeled "APLZODlocalized.dll."
    In all of the folders containing the multiple .lproj folders, there are likewise "name"localized.dll files contained.
    In the BookmarkDAV_client and Core DAV folders, they each contain only one file, "Info.plist"
    I attempted to delete all of these files, and still, the FileAssassin could not delete them. I unlocked one of them for instance, and I tried to delete the file myself (thru windows explorer and just clicking delete), and I still had the same issue of coming eventually to the window requesting me to "try again" to have permission.
    What can I do?? I'd like to avoid Unlocker, but if it really is a reliable and SAFE program, and someone knows a SAFE place to download it from, I'd appreciate it very much so!!
    thanks!!

  • How can I delete the Threat History from VZ Protect on my Samsung S4

    How can I delete the Threat History from VZ Protect on my Samsung S4

    Remove Verizon Protect or disable it if you cannot remove it and install a reputable anti virus / anti malware application from Google Play.  I would use something along the lines of Lookout Mobile Security or AVG mobile, or Avast to name a few of them.  There are others that work very well and use very little system resources to do it.  I have used all of these and Lookout seems to work the best for me.
    Verizon Protect gives a lot of false positives on things

  • How do I delete the iMessage app from my iPad which I downloaded myself? It does not have an x on it for me to click on upon holding down on it. ???

    How can I delete the IMessage App from my IPad? I downloaded the app myself. It does not show an X on it when held down either. Any ideas?

    You can't delete the app iMessage.
    You can turn it Off or "hide" it with Restrictions.

  • What happens if I click "delete backup" in order to delete the iCloud backups from my sisters phone off my device. Will it delete everything on her phone?

    So a while ago when I got my phone I started a new Apple ID account/ iCloud.. Then when my sister got a new iphone I gave her my id to use too. In settings-general-usage it says that my storage is almost full. I then click on manage storage and it shows my phone and my sisters phone and how many gb or whatever. Also it says "last backup failed" and other stuff that's Irrelevant. Now when I click on my sisters phone I have an option to "delete backup" MY QUESTION is if I click the delete backup button will it just delete the iCloud backup off my phone OR will it totally delete everything involving the backup off my sisters phone forever??? Please help! Thank you so much!!!!!

    Deleting a backup deletes the backup only from the iCloud storage, not anything on the iPhone.
    The iPhone's iCloud backup will be updated at some point - automatically when the iPhone is connected to an available wi-fi network while connected to a power source unless the iCloud backup is turned off on the iPhone.

  • HOW do I delete the camera roll from my iPad2.

    I updated to ios7.02  
    I tried this
    Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Photos and Camera.     and you can't swipe and get a delete option..  how do I delete the camera roll?
    I don't want to have to delete each of the 900 photos one at a time.  

    Syncing through iTunes won't help because that is not where synced photos are stored on iOS devices - they are in a folder that you name in iTunes (mine is iPad Photos).
    The only way to clear the photos from the Camera Roll is to tap SELECT at the top of the screen, then tap all the photos so there is a blue checkmark on each of them and then tap the TRASHCAN at the bottom. You can select all the photos, but must do it individually.
