delete R&R backups to reclaim disk space

#1 Post by impulse » Sun Mar 23, 2008 12:22 am

I can see several backups created by R&R, but it won't let me delete them. I get a message that there's not enough space to delete the backup. I have the recycle bin at the max capacity. I really need to reclaim some of the huge amount of space that these backup files have used.

I don't see C:\rrbackups in windows explorer, I have the folder option set to view hidden files and folders.

Any suggestions as to how to delete these files?
always an adventure...

Go to Safe Mode and then look under C:\rrbackups.
"I've come a long, long way," she said, "and I will go as far,
With the man who takes me from my horse, and leads me to a bar."
The man who took her off her steed, and stood her to a beer,
Were a bleary-eyed Surveyor and a DRUNKEN ENGINEER.
