My macbook air has only 10mb free, It will not complete a Time Machine Backup, on current time machine drive or even on a brand new 2tb disk drive?

10 MB is not enough to do much of anything. You will need to create sufficient free space before Time Machine will be able to create a backup.


To increase space in general refer to Free up storage space on your Mac - Apple Support.


Optimize storage space on your Mac - Apple Support also offers some suggestions.
