Dell Back Up And Repair Take Up 64% of Disk Space. Please Help
The DELL Backup files takes up 64% of my disk space on my laptop. I have Dell Inspiron 15 running Windows 8.1( for backwards compatibility purposes) and keep running out of diskspace due to the Dell Backup files that are added daily and go as far back as 2021. Unfortunately my Dell support expired and need advise on how to delete this files please.
My apology if this was issue attended to previously. My sincere thanks and appreciation for your support in this regard.
Much obliged.

Hi Alex7646:
Do you mean Dell Backup and Recovery (DBaR), and if so do you know the path (folder location) where DBaR stores your backup files?
I've never used DBaR (I have a Win 10 OS and used Dell SupportAssist OS Recovery v5.5.x, which is also known as Dell SupportAssist Remediation), but according to the section titled "Managing Existing Backups" in the MS.Codes tutorial How To Use Dell Backup And Recovery Windows 8.1 you should be able to delete existing backups from the Recovery panel of the DBaR interface.
If that doesn't help please post back and let us know your full Inspiron computer model (e.g., Inspiron 15 3567), your current DBaR version number, and whether you have a Basic or Premium edition of DBaR. Since you have a Win 8.1 OS I'm guessing you use the DBaR v1.8 described in the Dell support article Dell Backup and Recovery 1.8: Overview and Install.
