Removing Unwanted Files from your Local and Remote Backup

A common backup frustration is realizing that your backup drive is full and then discovering that to free up some space you need to start your backup again from scratch.

Cucku Backup 2.0 now includes the Remove Files Wizard. This makes it easy to save space by purging unwanted files from both your local and remote backups. Of course you could always buy a larger external drive and then move the backup location instead.

Run the wizard by clicking Settings and then Remove Old Files. You can choose between removing files that are no longer included in your backup set or deleted files that are in the backup but no longer on your computer.

If you need to remove some files from your backup to save space then edit the backup set first and then run the Remove Files Wizard.



After you click next you'll be presented with a list of each file that will be removed. Click on the Preview Items tab to see a summary view which shows the size and number of files that will be removed from each backup item (i.e. Documents, Photos, etc).



The final step is to decide if you also want to remove these files from you remote backup. Check each partner that you want to remove the files from.



Full instructions for the Remove Files Wizard can be found in the Cucku Backup User Guide.
