nero local autobackup saves not removing properly?

Concert in Eek · Oct 10, 2011

nero local autobackup saves have clogged up my memory but when I remove them by sending em to the bin the folio of nero autobackups gets smaller in size but the overall freespace on the drive is the same.
Where did all the freespace go and what can I do to get some space?
How should one remove these backup files? Often 20 to 30 gb each!

I am nearly out of space now and pretty desparate, should I buy a new harddrive?

I don't use Nero but this is what I found.

Autobackup

This update backup method is used for automatic backups made through Autobackup. In this process, the data from the previous backup is overwritten with the modified data. This means that there are no backup versions, i.e. accessing older backup versions is not possible.

Files that are deleted from a monitored folder are kept in the backup. If you want to delete these files from the backup as well, then use the delete feature, which can be selected in the Autobackup screen

You should be deleting through the autobackup program not sending items to the recycle bin.
Also since only one backup is ever available, you must have something configured incorrectly because it sounds like you have more than one set of backups.

30 GB is like the whole file, not just what is changed.
Unfortunately I do not have Nero on the computer anymore as I deleted it because it took all the freespace and I did not want the laptop to crash.
Is there any other way I can free the space? files are deleted by bin now and bin is emptied.
