Me too. I don't need delete for safety. Better clean up manually.

Also its most likely the backup device is bigger than the internal drive.
So when I run off space, just drop stuff on the laptop and a copy stay on
your backups. That ease the decision on what to purge when you are maxed up
on internal drive
