You are better off starting new on Ventura. If space is not being freed up...


Trying to manually mess with the TM database is not advised and typically does not end well.

If you value your user data

3-2-1 Backup Strategy: three copies of your data, two different methods, and one offsite.

More than one device, more than one backup methodology.
