It is possible to delete all Recovery Points back to a specific time or move all

Note: As Recovery Points are incremental, deleting one Recovery Point also
deletes all subsequent Recovery Points. Each Recovery Point location is
independent of the others, as well. For example, Recovery Points created
on the network are incremental, but independent of Recovery Points stored
on an external hard drive. If a Recovery Point is deleted from the network
location, this affects only the Recovery Points in that network location and
not other locations.
