    Backup Folder, Safe to Delete?


    I have a backup folder named LEGION my laptop's name series, and it contains full of backups from 2021 to now. Its size is 143,81 GB, which 49,7% fills up my 325,54 GB D: drive. I am trying to clean my disk but I'm also worried, is it safe to delete it? Any catch if I do?

    :)

    Software to monitor a folder, backup, then delete?

    Is there such a software that will allow the monitoring of a folder to not only backup, but also delete the data? For example, if I was to have a netbook, and it has the built-in card adapter for my camera, I can just copy all the files over to the netbook in a specific folder (ie, ::Temp Pictures), then the next time it connects to the internet/network it will search the folder for any new files, copy them over to my main PC, then delete the Temp Pictures data?

    I've been looking into doing this, googling and whatnot, and it seems like there are a LOT of options for monitoring folders for updates, new data, copying, etc, but I haven't quite found one that allows you to delete after copying.

    Thanks! *Smile Backup Folder, Safe to Delete? :)

    Software to monitor a folder, backup, then delete?

    I still think its hard to beat using NTI shadow for something like this. Though what you need is to add one more sync folder to your scheme in order for it to delete files, remember it sync/backup, so have your pictures synched to computer is pretty easy, after its on your computer, sync it to another folder that moves the files in the original directory, then when the next sync run, it will see the directory empty and remove the files.
