USER MANUAL
Deleting the Entire Backup
Time Machine enables you to delete your entire backup on the My Book World
Edition drive. However, you cannot delete folders and files individually.
Note: In Finder, you will see a folder that corresponds to your backup drive and includes the word
“backup”. This is a protected folder that is automatically created and where all of your backups
reside. It serves no purpose for users other than to store Time Machine backups. In fact, if you try to
connect to it, you will get a “Connection Failed” message.
To delete your entire backup:
1. In Finder, select the My Book World Edition drive and click the Connect As
button.
2. Enter wd_backup as the user name and backup as the password (not case-
sensitive) and click Connect.
