MarkinCroton30 Posted May 12, 2006 Report Share Posted May 12, 2006 Hi All I need to reclaim space on my Maxtor External drive using Express HD (latest version). What do I need to do? I want to delete a ton of old backups to create space (and then I think I need to recreate the catalog file) so my drive will see my reduced restore points. How do I do this?? TIA Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David777 Posted May 12, 2006 Report Share Posted May 12, 2006 Hello MarkJW To delete old restore points, you click on restore, then clcik next, selectthe restore point you want to delete, then when have finished deleting the restore points you want, click cancel. HD should automatically start reclaiming disk space, if have the most recent HD update 1.1.127 which can be downloaded from the link below. http://www.emcinsignia.com/supportupdates/updates/ Thanks, RetroRespect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkinCroton30 Posted May 12, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2006 I did that and when I reopened Retrospect HD all of the restore points I deleted were back again. I didnt know what else to do so I manually deleted from the hard drive and deleted the catalogue file on the hard drive Express HD is now recreating it but it seems like an awkward solution Any idea why the "deleted restore points" came back?

David777 Posted May 12, 2006 Report Share Posted May 12, 2006 did you restart your pc? rebuidling the catlog file, by deleting is a good option. -RetroRespect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkinCroton30 Posted May 13, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2006 I didnt restart before deleting from the hard drive Would that have gotten Express to reclaim the space from the "deleted restore points" that reappeared? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
