    File History drive full??!!


    Hello, hope somebody clever can help.
    I've connected to a 2TB external drive to backup my laptop and I'm getting a message saying that the file history drive is full, but I've used up less than 1TB and the initial backup hasn't finished.
    What can I do?

    Thanks

    :)

    File History Win 10 - Delete Old File History Files?

    After copying my old file history files to a new file history drive as part of switching file history to a new drive, can I delete all of the (old) file history folders and files off of that old drive?

    File History giving "File History drive is full" error even though "Until space is needed" has been checked in the options!!!

    Hello yes that's why I selected the "Until space is needed" option.

    File History is what has filled up this drive.
