    How to Remove Old Windows Backups from Cloud


    Ok, this seems to be a simple question without a straight answer. I have re-imaged my computer due to soooo many issues as of late that I have over 15 reinstalls. How do I remove the backups from the cloud? I want to delete them all. I have no reason or purpose to keep these, especially ones from over 2 years ago. Is there a way to clean slate this situation?

    :)

    Microsoft Account-Remove Cloud Backup of Personal Settings question

    Hi,
    I looked at my Microsoft Account and under the Devices Menu at the top for my PC I noticed a More Actions dropdown list saying Remove cloud backup of personal settings which talks about turning off syncing first and then clicking on Remove button and then removing the PC from the backed up devices in OneDrive which is never listed in Windows 10. There is also another option in the More Actions dropdown menu for the PC in my Microsoft account saying Remove PC.
    For what purpose would you use these two options ? (Remove cloud backup of personal settings and Remove PC)

    Remove Backups Server essentials 2012R2

    I would like to remove some old backups for devices listed in the windows server essentials 2012 R2 dashboard to free up hard drive space. Also would like to delete old backups from client computers no longer on the network.

    What are the steps needed to accomplish this? I do not see an obvious way to do this in the devices tab of the dashboard.

    Thank you
