How to Erase a Disk From a Backup
When creating backup files for a computer, many people choose to save those backup files to an external disk, such as a thumb drive or CD-RW. Over time and through use, these external hard drive sources will run out of storage space. Erasing old backup files from the storage disc will allow you to save new backup files to the disc. This procedure can be accomplished through Windows Explorer.
