    A couple years a go, I bought a, My Passport, 1TB external HD. I wanted it for my media, not to back up anything. I didn't install the software because all I wanted was for audio/video.

    I did a virus scan tonight, and found it went through pretty fast until it got to my F: Drive (my passport). It's still running on the F: drive after 3 hours. It's going through dates after dates of "backups. "

    I never set it up for back up. I finally installed the software tonight, and it shows nothing backed up, yet I have "backups." Lots and lots of backups.

    How do I get all the stuff that has been backed up all these years deleted?

    I don't need the stuff. I can start backing up after this, but I have no idea what has been backed up, Now that I have the software installed, I can back up what I want.

    Thank you,
    Chris.

    Can you Format the disc? That should delete whatever is on the disc. Neil.

    I installed the software and there was a way to delete the backups. Still don't know how it backed up lots of times without installing software.

    Chris.
