Just noticed that the backup folder on my old Dell Studio takes up over a third of the (nearly full) hard drive capacity.
Can I move the backup to an external hard drive?
If so, can I just drag & drop it there?
 
Eeek rather late.

If you still need help please let us know.
What make and model is your computer,how big is the HDD,how much free space do you have left?
Depending on your computer setup you may have many backups made over a period of time which are taking up space.
You could also be storing a lot of junk and temp files.
A good cleanup to free up space may help.

If you still need help please pop back and I am sure we can continue further.

JB.
