TM Backup Utility marks the drive as Read Only.

This makes is Not possible the cherry pick which Snap Shots one can delated

This leaves the user 3 choices

1 - Let TM Backup to do its' work and delated older Snap Sot when space is required

2 - Get a New Drive with at least 3x Greater Capacity than your Internal Drive. Then setup the new drive with TM Backups

3 - Reformat the entire exiting drive and star ta new regime in TM Backups

That 3rd option will loose you all your current backups, so think twice before using that option
