How do I delete old backups

Just use Windows to delete them. Each backup file is complete ... it's not just what since happened since the prior backup.BUT, you should also develop a backup strategy ... because sometimes if there's a problem, it might well exist in the most recent backup(s) also.SO:
- Backup before you make any major changes in Q (new accounts, closing accounts, combining accounts, large quantities of input). Q itself will initiate a backup before any program updates.
- KEEP at least a week's worth of backups.
- KEEP weekly backups for a month or 2
- KEEP monthly backups for a year or so.
Backups are you friends. Make lots of them.Q user since February, 1990. DOS Version 4
