Removing old files from backup (cleanup)

To get to the cleanup function, login to your mydata portal.
Select your device from your machine list.
Navigate to the My files section

There are two ways to remove old files, manually and automatically.

To manually remove files, navigate to the folders or files you’d like to remove from the backup and select the red X next to them.
On the right side of the screen, you’ll see a list of folders and files to be removed.
Once all your selections are done, click the delete button on the right of the screen in the removal list.
The system will provide an additional confirmation prompt – click yes to confirm and remove the selected files from the backup.
Click no to make changes to the removal list.

To automatically remove files from the cloud backup, use the cleanup mode function provided.
By default Cleanup Mode is set to No or off.
To turn on cleanup mode, simply move the slider to yes
The system will then automatically identify orphaned folders and files – those stored only in the cloud and not locally on the device.
From here you can then select the red x to permanently remove the data from the cloud
Follow the same process for confirming removal and deletion.
