I Can't Delete Backups from Computer I don't own any more
I Can't Delete 2 Backups from Computer I don't own any more. I unlinked them before i trashed them. They aren't showing on my device list, but when I try to trash them it says need to be unlinked. Any help appreciated. Thanks

I'm not sure if I was clear. I'm trying to delete 2 backups that are from computers I don't own anymore. When I try it says they need to be unlinked. I unlinked them a long time ago & they dont show up on my device list. I'd like to get them deleted. Thanks

Hey RockerG, thanks for bringing this to our attention.
Is this what you see when you try to delete the backup from your backups page or a different way?
Let me know and we'll go from there.

Your reply says, "is this what you see". I don't see anything in your reply to see. When I go to a link and there's a backup listed that i am unable to delete.

Hey RockerG, is it possible that the devices appear under your Security settings, under a different name maybe?
If not, would you mind sending me a screenshot of the error message you get, when trying to delete your Backup?
