    Hi,

    In that case, you will want to delete the older backups to make some space available.

    I have to go out for a few hours now.

    Thanks for the help.

    Is it alright to delete the old back up files? I have now cancelled the windows back up and will back up onto an external drive from now on.

    No worries. Yes, you can delete some of the older backup files to regain some space.

    Dear Golden,
    I ma not sure that you will see this reply, but I must try. My problem is that when I check disk space on C partion in windows it shows that only 4,40 GB is free of 58,4 GB. I checked everything, but I cant files which are big enough to fulfill this space. That I saw your advice here and installed WinDirStat. Picture is attached. I don't you have any other suggestion what is the problem and do you know how I can find files which are responsible for fulfilling my hard drive?
