Deleting files from hard drive
I have a backup on an external hard drive, and now I want to delete files from this hard drive. I do not wish to delete the entire backup file, but items within it. Whenever I try to delete any item, a message saying that this can not be done as backup objects cannot be changed appears. What can I do?
Additionally, I have deleted whole backup files from the hard drive disk, but now I can't delete them from the waste bin on my Macbook, saying I do not have the rights to delete such files.
For information, I have a MacBook Pro, and the hard drive in question is a LaCie one.
