Member Since: January 2006 Posts: 18 Send Message	Can anyone help please? I have recently changed my laptop hard drive and to save the data from the old one I purchased a "Seagate Go" portable drive to backup the files to transfer to the new one. However, I now wish to delete some old files from the SeaGate backup drive to stop them going back onto my laptop when the backup schedule kicks in! I would appreciate your assistance. Thanking you in advance. Tony

I contacted SeaGate for advice some time back and they first of all didn't reply. Maybe they felt the question was too simple. I put the query to them this morning and they offered to give me the answer for as little as £18 and as much as £32!! it all depended on whether I wanted a low, medium and high response!! Thanks again Tony
