Dell DataSafe Online ... how to delete stored backup and start over
I have what I think is a straightforward question. How does one delete all the data that is stored in Dell DataSafe online storage? I am new to Dell and with the limited 2GB storage that came with the computer I have quickly filled the quota with non essential backup, so I need to start over and be very selective about what I back up
Thanks in advance for pointing me to the right link / answer

Unselect current selections and run the backup.

I don't believe you can "delete" files. Stupid I know but the only way I think you can correct this is to open your settings and Un-select everything you currently have selected to backup. I prefer the Details view instead of the category view. Its easier for me to see what is selected for backup and to unselect them.
Once they're unselected, run the backup. This will take some time especially if you have a lot backed up. Once completed your online data should be nil or very close to that. Now go back into the Dell Data Safe app and select what you do want backed up. The run the backup to upload to the server.
