Windows 10: How to delete a backup file that is not displayed in "Back up and Restore Windows 7"?

Hello!Ages ago, I've created a backup and let it to die in one of my computer's drive. It is taking a lot of space and I really want to delete it.There's absolutely nothing in "Backup settings" and when I go there, Control Panel\System and Security\Back up and Restore Windows 7, I don't see the backup under "Back-up". BUT! Under "Restore", when I click on "Select another back-up to restore files from", I can see it in the options.I am clueless, I've been searching for the answer for hours.Thanks for your help!

Backup and Restore Windows 7 file in Control Panel

A file called "Backup and Restore Windows 7" is listed in my Control Panel. Is it safe to delete this file? If so, how can I safely delete it?

 

Deleted file restore software.

Shute I never thought about system restore. But its been more than a week now, don't know if I can go back that far. But even then will it put back user files?

Oh.

So your running the backup software from the server and not the computer.

Yep I see whats happened. Just for the future (althought I am sure you wont make the same mistake again) make sure you select and option that says "if it cant find the file, DONT delete". If it doesnt have that option...switch to SynbackSE.

An FYI: difference between incremental and differential is that differential copies all new / changed files since the last full backup......incremental copies all new / changed files since the last backup no matter what it was (incremental/full/differential).

Now to get your files back:

Tried a system restore on the server?
