So, I ran an experiment running backup on my local disk drive, but I don't know how to get rid of it? Any ideas?
Meltingranger J:What if I accidentally said "delete backup set" instead? Is there anyway I can claim back that backup set onto my Norton program?
I'm thinking...no. I'm thinking Delete means delete.
However, you can create a new backup set with the same (if you recall) What | Where | When.
Delete backup set...think backup settings/instructions - think What | Where | When
- what files to back up, where you want them backed up, and when you want the backup to run -
Delete backup set and files...think backup settings/instructions and the files already backed up with those backup settings/instructions.
Note: You can delete a backup set if it is no longer needed. You cannot delete a backup set if only one backup set is available. However, you can create a new backup set before you delete the old backup set.

Thank you, I also wanted to know how to remove this
@Meltingranger J
Maybe, you're trying to delete the N360_BACKUP folder created on your ext drive?
after Delete backup sets and files > right click N360_BACKUP folder > Remove access > Stop sharing
then the created N360_Backup folder will delete to your Recycle Bin.
