Open Time Machine, select the "gear", then select Delete backups.
See if you can undo the delete to Trash by control-clicking the item in trash and selecting Put Back.
If it doesn't work, re-boot and then try to empty the Trash

Thanks for your response...
I found the correct way after moving most files to the trash.
I don't have the option to put back when clicking control. Wish I did.
I've changed the permissions on each backup to Read Write in case it was a permissions issue. Not So.
When trying to delete, i get an unexpected error (code -22) notice from the trash.
Everything has been rebooted a few times as well.
Is there a way to access & purge the Trash through unix?
JJ
