I've just got my machine back from the shop. The formatting of the disk
appears to have deleted the backup ok. What threw me was that you can go into
the Restore dialogue and still see all the names & locations of the files you
backed up even thogh they no longer exist.
I guess these references will disappear with time.
From my researches it does appear that the only way to remove files you have
deleted since making the last backup is a reformat. I've got nothing to hide
really, but I do like to have control of the data on my computer so I will
not be using the MS Backup feature again..
