As above, need to delete a load of files that have been converted to hyperbackup (hbk) but no idea how to ... anyone?

I've never heard of it, but if Hyperbackup can create backup files presumably the same app can remove old ones?

I'm not sure you can delete the individual files as they are part of a set.  You should be able to delete the whole backup from within hyperbackup though and that should be it

The complication though is that I think that hyperbackup can be set to backup to a different diskstation so if that has happened I have no idea who has control of the files 🙁

leefeboy - think you're right.  Bit of a flaw for Synology
