Deleting files from the Backup Server

  1. Open the SmartPick software.  Switch to the Restore tab on SmartPick's main screen (located in the middle of the page on the Left.) 
  2. Right click on the Desktop icon in the left panel of the Backup Client window and select “Get Volume List from The Server”.  The Backup Client will now connect to the SmartPick Backup Server and get the Volumes (local and network drives) that were backed up.
  3. Right click on each Drive letter (or the Drive where the files/directories  you need to delete resides) and click on “Get File List From The Server”.
  4. Next, while still on the Restore tab, go into Delete Files mode by depressing the large Red X, just below and to the right of the file tabs.
  5. Use the delete screen's explorer-like interface to locate the file, file folder, or directory you wish to delete from the Backup Server, and click in the box next to these files.  Make sure that you only select the files, file folders, or directories you wish to delete, as they will not be retrievable from the Backup Server once the delete operation is complete! 
  6. Then depress the Delete Files Now button, (on the right side of the screen in the middle.)  Confirm that you wish to delete these files by selecting YES, and all selected files will then be erased from the backup server, immediately freeing up space on your account.
