Delete Backup is taking too long

Hi,


I used the "Manage Backup Sets" to create a new backup set and to delete an old backup set because the old backup set was getting so large (and I have a 2T external drive).

 

However, it has been two days already, only about 5% of the backup has been deleted.  Is it possible to accelerate this deletion process, or is there an alternative?

 

Thanks in advance.

 

Mike

Do you need more?

 

Thanks in advance.
