Windows 10: How do I delete a backup that I created using the Back Up Files wizard from another pc?

I backed up my old Windows 7 PC and then installed it on my new Windows 10 PC. How can I safely remove those back up files?

:)

 

Backup using file history

Thanks Robeline

I was going by other advice and articles that suggest that backing up under Update and security/backup is now the way to go. I will try your suggestion.

Backup using file history

Hi Doug,

There are limited options when using backup and restore. We suggest that you create a full backup using Windows 10 system image tool, you need to connect external storage with enough available space. See steps below:

• Open Control Panel.
• Click on System and Security.
• Click on Backup and Restore (Windows 7).
• On the left pane, click the Create a system image link.
• Under Where do you want to save the backup?, select the
  On a hard disk option.
• Using the "On a hard disk" drop-down menu, select the storage to save the backup.
• Click the Start backup button.

Note: Once you completed the steps, the wizard will proceed to create a full backup of your system, including everything that is stored on the main drive, as well as the system reserved partition.

 

files have gone

I MOVED a directory from one W2K PC to another. However, the target PC (which has a backup unit on it and thus the point of the move) crashed halfway through the move and I had to reboot. I then decided that I needed to sort out why the PC crashed and MOVED the directory back again.

However, in the process, most of the files have disappeared! What I don't understand is why the original files were deleted if they were not copied over.

As far as I can see, the files have gone for good. Is there any hope? Friend suggest Data Recovery Wizard, can I try that?
