I got a warning today about low space so went googling…
From poking about the OS I could see my backup folder was way too big.
Went to Settings > System > Backups and found a bunch of old stuff I cleaned up but could still see some big old files.
I use the Google drive backup addon and that reports 2 local copies which matches Settings > System > Backups and 5 on google.

The top two are the most recent backups of 255mb odd but what are the rest and can I safely delete them?
