Re: Cant delete backup

Hello DeadlySins, and welcome to Vista Forums.

If you are talking about the Vista Complete PC Backup or Back Up Files backup folder, then you will need to open and approve permission for each folder in it first. Then you should be able to delete it afterwards.

Hope this helps,
Shawn
