So I'm running win 10 and have File History set up on an external drive because everybody needs a backup. What I don't need is two.
I'm reasonably computer savvy, so I tried figuring it out, did some googling, but nothing has led me to a solution.
The problem is this:
File History folder is exactly where I want it to be, doing exactly what I want it to do.
There's a second folder on the same drive titled "backup USERDATA oct 6 2018". I have no idea why I would have set up a second backup in the first place. All of the dates on the files are *extremely* incorrect, going as far as saying the modified date is earlier than the created date. It is, however, up to date w recent files.
I figured it might be a system restore kind of folder, but when I go to the control panel settings for 'Backup and Restore (windows 7)' and that seems to be pretty clear there is no backup of such a kind.
I'm lost and would just really to be able to remove 415GB of data from a very crowded drive. Though I'm scared to delete it in case it *is* somehow linked to File History (I know it isn't, and yet...) because there's older versions of files in file history i might need later and it's too much to copy elsewhere.
