So you add it to the excluded folder list. Problem is, doing so won’t automatically delete the backup files. The clean up utility can’t be performed on one specific folder and even if you could, it still leaves one copy, the latest one.

I have this problem with my podcasts folder – and it’s taking up a lot of space on my remote drive, space that I want to free up.

Is it safe to go to the file history backup folder and just delete the folder that you’ve chosen to exclude? That is, will there be adverse consequences that I am not aware of?
