Jun 30, 2015 7:40 AM in response to OGELTHORPEby NoahPiskoty,Its not working, normally I wouldn't mind the backups, but theres apparently 107 GB of backups.. I type in the command and once it asks for my password it won't type, i try to type it in, but it's like its not recognizing the keys.

Jun 30, 2015 7:48 AM in response to Csound1by NoahPiskoty,Alright, it worked, thank you guys. That was quite helpful. Ill make sure I remember how to do this. Like I said normally it wouldn't bother me but lately my computer has been lagging and there's like absolutely nothing but music on my laptop. So, when I see only 50 some GB of space left and 107 GB of backups wasting space, thats when I gotta start caring about it, so again thank you.
