Windows 10: File history not deleting old files to make space for new ones.

I have set up file history and it worked great until my drive filled up. now its saying i need to use a new drive and so isnt backing up any more. i thought it was supposed to delete the old files to make space?

:)

 

Only write one number to log file and delete old ones?

Hey,

I'm trying to have some software read from a .text file a number (GPU Temp) but the software will only the first number in a list (Or the first anything)

Is there a way to have to log file delete the previous entries and write the new number in it's place without any headers?


EDIT:

Sorry I'll try again.

I have some webcam software that can read a number (or whatever) from a text file and then it displays the number as an overlay.

See here: http://10.244.193.13:8081/

I was trying to use GPU-z to do this but as it logs as a list the webcam software can't update properly (also it reads the headings of the file and displays them instead)

Is there anyway to alter the logging to only output just the number (GPU Temp) and to delete the old numbers so the new value is the only value in the file.

 

How to stop File History on the old drive and start File History on a new drive?

I use the external drive

Please suggest the steps to stop File History on the old drive and start File History on a new drive.

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?
