Time Machine je najbolji način za zaštitu podataka na vašem Macu^(Mac) . Sposoban je potpuno automatizirati sigurnosne kopije^{(completely automating backups)} i olakšava vraćanje datoteka i mapa^{(restoring files and folders)} . Dok koristite Time Machine , ponekad ćete možda trebati osloboditi prostor brisanjem određenih datoteka sigurnosne kopije i snimki.

Čitajte dalje kako biste saznali kako izbrisati sigurnosne kopije Time Machinea^{(Time Machine)} s vanjskih i unutarnjih medija za pohranu na Macu^(Mac) .

Zašto morate izbrisati sigurnosne kopije Time Machinea^{(Time Machine Backups)}

Kada postavite Time Machine na eksterni pogon, on stvara postojanu arhivu sigurnosnih kopija—ili snimaka—podataka vašeg Maca. To vam omogućuje vraćanje određenih verzija datoteka i mapa, koje ponekad datiraju godinama unazad, što je moguće. Time Machine je dovoljno pametan da izbriše najstarije snimke kako bi stvorio prostor, čineći ručno upravljanje prostorom za pohranu nepotrebnim.

Međutim, ako pogon za sigurnosno kopiranje također koristite kao osobni medij za pohranu (moguće samo ako je HFS+ or Mac OS Extended-formatted ), možete izbrisati sve prethodne sigurnosne kopije bilo koje datoteke ili mape kako biste napravili mjesta. Ili možete odabrati brisanje određenih snimaka.

Osim toga, Time Machine čuva snimke vaših podataka svakog sata lokalno ako nemate priključen pogon Time Machine . Ako vam ponestane prostora na internoj pohrani vašeg Maca, možete izbrisati pojedinačne ili sve lokalne snimke putem Terminala^(Terminal) .

Izbrišite sigurnosne kopije datoteka^{(Delete File)} i mapa^{(Folder Backups)} putem Time Machinea^{(Time Machine)}

Time Machine omogućuje brisanje svih sigurnosnih kopija bilo koje datoteke ili mape na vanjskom tvrdom disku ili SSD -u . Sljedeći koraci ne odnose se na APFS (Apple File System) Time Machine diskove.

1. Spojite pogon Time Machine na vaš ^{(Time Machine)}Mac .

2. Odaberite ikonu Time Machine na traci izbornika i odaberite Enter Time Machine . Ili otvorite Launchpad i odaberite Ostalo^(Other) > Vremeplov^{(Time Machine)} .

3. Dođite do lokacije datoteke ili mape i odaberite je. Ako je to stavka koju ste već izbrisali, upotrijebite vremensku crtu s desne strane aplikacije Time Machine dok je ne pronađete na prethodnoj snimci.

4. Odaberite ikonu zupčanika^(Gear) na vrhu prozora Finder i odaberite Delete All Backups of [File/Folder Name] .

5. Odaberite OK u skočnom prozoru za potvrdu.

6. Unesite administratorsku lozinku vašeg Mac računala i odaberite OK za provjeru autentičnosti radnje.

Time Machine će nastaviti uključivati ​​datoteku ili mapu u nove sigurnosne kopije. Ako to želite zaustaviti, morate ga dodati na Time Machineov^{(Time Machine)} popis isključenja (o tome više u nastavku).

Izbrišite snimke Time Machinea pomoću Findera^{(Time Machine Snapshots Using Finder)}

Time Machine pohranjuje inkrementalne sigurnosne kopije vaših datoteka i mapa kao zasebne snimke. Možete ih izravno izbrisati pristupom pogonu Time Machine putem ^{(Time Machine)}Findera^(Finder) . To je moguće i na HFS+ i APFS Time Machine pogonima.

1. Pokrenite Finder i odaberite disk za sigurnosnu kopiju Time Machine -a na bočnoj traci.

2. Otvorite mapu Backups.backupdb , a zatim podmapu [Name of Your Mac] za pristup sigurnosnim kopijama Time Machine -a. ^{(Time Machine)}Ako pogon koristi APFS format, sve snimke bit će prisutne u korijenskom direktoriju.

3. Pronađite snimku Time Machine koju želite izbrisati. Budući da se nazivi datoteka snimki pojavljuju u formatu GGGG-MM-DD-HHMMSS, pokušajte ih sortirati pomoću stupca Naziv^(Name) kako biste lakše pronašli određenu snimku koju želite izbrisati.

4. Control -kliknite ili desnom tipkom miša kliknite snimku koju želite izbrisati i odaberite Premjesti u smeće^{(Move to Trash)} .

5. Odaberite Nastavi^(Continue) za potvrdu.

6. Unesite administratorsku lozinku vašeg Mac računala i odaberite U redu^(OK) .

7. Pritisnite Control -kliknite ili desnom tipkom miša kliknite ikonu Trash na Mac Docku i odaberite Empty Trash .

Napomena^(Note) : Ako ne možete isprazniti smeće^(Trash) , morate onemogućiti zaštitu integriteta sustava^{(System Integrity Protection)} na vašem Macu^(Mac) . Da biste to učinili, pristupite terminalu putem macOS Recovery^{(access Terminal via macOS Recovery)} i pokrenite naredbu csrutil disable .

Izbrišite snimke Time Machinea pomoću terminala^{(Time Machine Snapshots Using Terminal)}

Alternativni način brisanja snimaka Time Machinea^{(Time Machine)} uključuje korištenje terminala u macOS-u^{(using the Terminal in macOS)} . Počinjete ispisivanjem svih naziva staza brzih snimaka u prozoru terminala . ^(Terminal)Zatim više puta pokrenete naredbu za brisanje snimaka koje želite.

1. Spojite pogon Time Machine na vaš ^{(Time Machine)}Mac .

2. Otvorite Launchpad i odaberite Ostalo^(Other) > Terminal .

3. Pokrenite sljedeću terminalsku^(Terminal) naredbu za pregled popisa snimaka Time Machine -a :

tmutil popis sigurnosnih kopija^{(tmutil listbackups)}

Na pogonima HFS+ Time Machines vidjet ćete puni put datoteke do svake snimke. Ako je pogon APFS formatiran, vidjet ćete samo popis naziva datoteka.

4. Pokrenite sljedeću naredbu za brisanje snimke, zamjenjujući snapshot-path/name putanjom ( HFS+ ) ili imenom ( APFS ) do sigurnosne kopije dok je stavljate u dvostruke navodnike:

sudo tmutil delete “snapshot-path/name”

5. Upišite administratorsku lozinku vašeg Mac računala da potvrdite radnju i pritisnite Enter .

6. Ponovite za sve druge snimke koje želite izbrisati.

Izbrišite lokalne snimke pomoću terminala^{(Delete Local Snapshots Using Terminal)}

Time Machine stvara automatske snimke svakog sata na lokalnoj pohrani vašeg Mac računala, dajući vam mogućnost vraćanja ograničene količine podataka čak i ako nemate pogon za sigurnosnu kopiju sa sobom. Međutim, ako ste blizu da vam ponestane slobodnog prostora^{(close to running out of free space)} , možete ih izbrisati putem terminala.

1. Otvorite Launchpad i odaberite Ostalo^{(Other )} > Terminal .

2. Pokrenite sljedeću naredbu da biste otkrili popis lokalnih snimki:

tmutil listlocalsnapshots /

3. Izbrišite snimku Time Machinea^{(Time Machine)} pomoću donje naredbe, zamjenjujući [naziv-snimke]^{([snapshot-name])} nazivom snimke (samo dio GGGG-MM-DD-HHMMSS):

sudo tmutil deletelocalsnapshots [naziv-snimke]^{(sudo tmutil deletelocalsnapshots [snapshot-name])}

4. Upišite administratorsku lozinku vašeg Mac računala da potvrdite radnju i pritisnite Enter .

5. Ponovite za sve druge snimke koje želite izbrisati.

Onemogući lokalne snimke^(Snapshots) (samo macOS Sierra i starije verzije^{(Earlier Only)} )

Ako ste korisnik Mac računala s operativnim sustavom macOS 10.12 Sierra ili starijim, možete spriječiti Time Machine da stvara lokalne snimke. Akcija također prisilno briše sve lokalne snimke. Ako želite, kasnije možete ponovno omogućiti lokalne snimke.

Da biste to učinili, otvorite Terminal i pokrenite sljedeći naredbeni redak:

sudo tmutil disablelocal

Izvršite naredbu u nastavku ako želite ponovno aktivirati lokalne snimke Time Machinea :^{(Time Machine)}

 sudo tmutil enablelocal

Isključite datoteke^{(Exclude Files)} i mape^(Folders) u Time Machineu^{(Time Machine)}

Možete spriječiti Time Machine da uključi određene datoteke i mape u svoje sigurnosne kopije. To je idealno ako želite spriječiti da određene stavke zauzimaju prostor za pohranu na pogonu Time Machine —npr. privremene datoteke kao što su Safari ili Apple TV preuzimanja^{(Safari or Apple TV downloads)} .

1. Control - kliknite ili kliknite desnom tipkom miša ikonu System Preferences^{(System Preferences icon)} na Mac's Dock i odaberite Time Machine .

2. Odaberite gumb Opcije^{(Options )} u donjem desnom kutu prozora Time Machine .

3. Odaberite Dodaj^{(Add )} (ikona u obliku plusa).

4. Odaberite datoteku ili mapu koju želite izuzeti i odaberite Isključi^(Exclude) .

5. Ponovite za sve druge datoteke ili mape koje želite izuzeti.

Čišćenje dovršeno

Brisanje starih sigurnosnih kopija Time Machinea^{(Time Machine)} može vam pomoći da oslobodite prostor, ali najbolje je pustiti Time Machine da odradi svoje i intervenirati samo ako dostupnog prostora za pohranu počne ponestajati. Također, ne zaboravite da možete odlučiti isključiti stavke iz svojih sigurnosnih kopija i spriječiti da se vaš pogon Time Machine brže puni.^{(Time Machine)}

How to Delete Time Machine Backups

Time Machine is the best way to safeguard the data on yоur Mac. It is capable of completely automating backups and makes restoring files and folders easy. As you use Time Machine, you might need to free up space sometimes by deleting specific backup files and snapshots.

Read on to learn how to delete Time Machine backups from external and internal storage media on a Mac.

Why You Must Delete Time Machine Backups

When you set up Time Machine on an external drive, it builds up a steady archive of backups—or snapshots—of your Mac’s data. That allows you to restore specific versions of files and folders, sometimes dating back years, possible. Time Machine is smart enough to delete the oldest snapshots to create space, making manual storage space management unnecessary.

However, if you also use the backup drive as a personal storage medium (only possible if it’s HFS+ or Mac OS Extended-formatted), you can delete all previous backups of any file or folder to make room. Or, you can choose to delete specific snapshots.

Additionally, Time Machine keeps hourly snapshots of your data locally if you do not have the Time Machine drive connected. If you run out of space on your Mac’s internal storage, you can delete individual or all local snapshots via Terminal.

Delete File and Folder Backups via Time Machine

Time Machine makes it possible to delete all backups of any file or folder on an external hard drive or SSD. The following steps do not apply to APFS (Apple File System) Time Machine drives.

1. Connect the Time Machine drive to your Mac.

2. Select the Time Machine icon on the menu bar and choose Enter Time Machine. Or, open the Launchpad and select Other > Time Machine.

3. Navigate to the location of the file or folder and select it. If it’s an item you’ve already deleted, use the timeline to the right of the Time Machine app until you locate it on a previous snapshot.

4. Select the Gear-icon at the top of the Finder window and select Delete All Backups of [File/Folder Name].

5. Select OK on the confirmation pop-up.

6. Enter your Mac’s administrator password and select OK to authenticate the action.

Time Machine will continue to include the file or folder in new backups. If you want to stop that, you must add it to Time Machine’s exclusions list (more on that further below).

Delete Time Machine Snapshots Using Finder

Time Machine stores incremental backups of your files and folders as separate snapshots. You can delete them directly by accessing your Time Machine drive via Finder. That is possible on both HFS+ and APFS Time Machine drives.

1. Launch Finder and select the Time Machine backup disk on the sidebar.

2. Open the Backups.backupdb folder, and then the [Name of Your Mac] subfolder to access your Time Machine backups. If the drive uses the APFS format, all snapshots will be present in the root directory.

3. Locate the Time Machine snapshot you want to delete. Since snapshot file names appear in the YYYY-MM-DD-HHMMSS format, try sorting them using the Name column to make it easier to find the specific snapshot you want to delete.

4. Control-click or right-click the snapshot you want to delete and select Move to Trash.

5. Select Continue to confirm.

6. Enter your Mac’s administrator password and select OK.

7. Control-click or right-click the Trash icon on the Mac’s Dock and select Empty Trash.

Note: If you can’t empty the Trash, you must disable System Integrity Protection on your Mac. To do that, access Terminal via macOS Recovery and run the csrutil disable command.

Delete Time Machine Snapshots Using Terminal

An alternative way to delete Time Machine snapshots involves using the Terminal in macOS. You start by listing all snapshot path names in a Terminal window. Then, you repeatedly run a command to delete the snapshots you want.

1. Connect the Time Machine drive to your Mac.

2. Open the Launchpad and select Other > Terminal.

3. Run the following Terminal command to view a list of Time Machine snapshots:

tmutil listbackups

On HFS+ Time Machines drives, you will see the full file path to each snapshot. If the drive is APFS-formatted, you will only see a list of file names.

4. Run the following command to delete a snapshot, replacing snapshot-path/name with the path (HFS+) or name (APFS) to the backup while enclosing it in double-quotes:

sudo tmutil delete “snapshot-path/name”

5. Type your Mac’s administrator password to authenticate the action and press Enter.

6. Repeat for any other snapshots you want to delete.

Delete Local Snapshots Using Terminal

Time Machine creates automatic hourly snapshots on your Mac’s local storage, giving you the option of restoring a limited amount of data even if you don’t have your backup drive with you. However, if you are close to running out of free space, you can delete them via Terminal.

1. Open Launchpad and select Other > Terminal.

2. Run the following command to reveal a list of local snapshots:

tmutil listlocalsnapshots /

3. Delete the Time Machine snapshot using the command below, replacing [snapshot-name] with the name of the snapshot (YYYY-MM-DD-HHMMSS portion only):

sudo tmutil deletelocalsnapshots [snapshot-name]

4. Type your Mac’s administrator password to authenticate the action and press Enter.

5. Repeat for any other snapshots you want to delete.

Disable Local Snapshots (macOS Sierra and Earlier Only)

If you’re a Mac user running the macOS 10.12 Sierra operating system or earlier, you can stop Time Machine from creating local snapshots. The action also forcibly deletes all local snapshots. You can choose to re-enable local snapshots afterward if you want.

To do that, open Terminal and run the following command line:

sudo tmutil disablelocal

Execute the command below if you want to reactivate local Time Machine snapshots:

 sudo tmutil enablelocal

Exclude Files and Folders in Time Machine

You can prevent Time Machine from including specific files and folders in its backups. That’s ideal if you want to stop particular items from consuming storage on the Time Machine drive—e.g., temporary files such as Safari or Apple TV downloads.

1. Control-click or right-click the System Preferences icon on the Mac’s Dock and select Time Machine.

2. Select the Options button on the lower-right corner of the Time Machine window.

3. Select Add (plus-shaped icon).

4. Pick the file or folder you want to exclude and select Exclude.

5. Repeat for any other files or folders you want to exclude.

Cleanup Complete

Deleting old Time Machine backups can help you free up space, but it’s best to let Time Machine do its thing and only intervene if available storage starts running low. Also, don’t forget that you can choose to exclude items from your backups and prevent your Time Machine drive from filling up faster.
