Maxtor one touch for back up on dell desk top x32 vista home premium.
When I delete folders from the maxtor to increase space they dissapear from the "C" drive on the computer.

How to delete backups on Maxtor, without affecting the C drive.

If it were me, I would just use back up software that is used by many here without problem. Macrium Reflect.
Since I am not familiar with the software, it would be difficult for me to give an alternative anwer to your question
Others may offer suggestions, but they are probably in the same situation as me; lacking first hand experience

Hi prof,

The Maxtor is just the drive...Correct?

Are you using a software to do the backups? If so, what are you using?

Rich: Did not Work DOS doesn't recognise unlock.
Don't think the drive is locked, can move folders freely between C drive
and it.

Just can't delete from the maxtor without affecting the C.

Thanks for the response though.:rolleyes:
