Manually deleting old backup data


Recommended Posts

I'm running Retrospect 7.5 on a Windows XP sp2 machine that's connected up to a multi terabyte raid drive (with 2 partitions). I had run a bunch of test backups and wanted to clear off all the space that was being wasted by all the unnecessary, so I simply went through Windows Explorer and manually deleted the files created by retrospect. Now it appears that the files are gone, but the drive properties shows that the space is still being used !?! can anyone please tell me just how badly I've screwed up my machine, or what I should do now? and what's the proper method for clearing up old space from backups you don't want anymore?

 

Thanks your input!
