Deleting Files and Directories
Press the Delete soft button (from Disk Mode) to delete Þles and directories. The Delete
function supports multiple selection of Þles for deletion. Select the Þle(s) and/or directory(s) to
be deleted, and press OK (or Cancel to abort). Be careful! You donÕt get a second chance to
change your mind once youÕve pressed OK. Once a Þle is deleted, itÕs gone. Remember the
fundamental directive of computer users: Save early, save often; make backups.

On this screen, choose the directory tree that you want to backup by selecting a directory (see
Selecting Directories, near the beginning of this chapter.) Backup allows to you copy all of the
Þles within a directory tree from one disk to another. All of the Þles within the directory that
