Thank you for using the Apple Support Communities

From what I understand is that you deleted a backup file. Could you describe your problem with a little more detail please.

TThanks for the reply. Eventually solved the problem by accessing the Time Machine. Went back to the date and time when I deleted the file and there it was. Just pressed restore .
