However, there are also several folders on the disc which contain files that I have copied there using Windows Explorer (ie NOT part of the WB Backup process) which I must keep, so I do not want to just format the Passport. A: Connect My Passport and follow the instructions (you'll be asked if you want to use use the external drive to make time machine backups) If you want to see the TimeMachine icon on the menubar (on the right sight), click on the apple icon on the menu bar and click on SystemPreferences. Step 3: On the Format Partition window, choose FAT32 from the File System menu and then click the OK button. Step 2: Highlight the NTFS partition on the WD My Passport drive and then choose the Format Partition from the left pane. It is now 93 full, but I have just discovered that no backups have been stored for the past two weeks. Step 1: Launch MiniTool Partition Wizard to access its main interface. I googled how to do this, and it appeared a bit tricky and risky.
Im wondering if I should just delete the history files or call the pros at WD Support again.
I see that the O drive also has history files, and is approaching full. The tech deleted a huge bunch of history files, which greatly increased my available space. I noticed that my P drive was almost completely filled up, so I called WD Support today. I hesitate to just go in and delete things not knowing whether there is a summary file index somewhere that also needs to be cleaned up.Īs a last resort I may have to purge the Passport and then use the various utilities to set up a new backup schedule. I can see the Passport as a separate drive and can see the various files and the backups.
