Deleting Timeshift files on external storage

[Tato]

X5  v20220624
Buzz TV 5  v5.0.727
128 GB USB External Storage
Timeshift set to Force USB TS

The feature works as designed, but will eventually fill the USB drive.  I've been removing the drive and deleting the files on a PC.  

Neither file app on the BuzzTV 5 homepage can take you to the cache, stopping at the Data file.

Is there another way of deleting the timeshift files that are no longer required?

I don't think you need to delete anything It'll just record over

[Tato]

I tried uploading a pic, but it didn't work.

When using timeshift, it will record over the file in use.  Every time a new timeshift session starts, a new file is created.  This is how the cache can completely fill all available space on the external drive.  When that happens, timeshift no longer functions due to a lack of space.  

I'm deleting the files now as part of weekly maintenance.  Maybe this will be addressed in a future update, or not.  Just wondering if there was another way to empty the cache.

Its unfortunate allaboutbuzz can't read or speak for himself.

What's also  unfortunate is the false pretense you, nbs, present as knowledgeable and helpful.  You're not.

What I will do is contact Buzz through their website.

If you read more you would see that my answer was correct yet he insults me

I'd ask him the question again

All you guys are cool and really helpful. BuzzTV is a great box but in recent after TV app update  to Buzz 5 things have become haywire. 
It's hard to explain my IPTV provider who tell me that the problem is on my side.  Confusion is that All was good before the update (new Buzz 5 App). And now there some hiccups, so developers probably broke something while launching the new App. 

Love the new UI of the App, just sad of the hiccups happening.

Some people become Karen/Ken and want to take their frustration out. 
That's why i asked, if you guys are actual tech support team.
But you guys are wingmen/women who take care of each other.

 

Don't need to explain yourself buddy

Right now a lot of the issues you have mentioned in different threads + posts on this Forum sound like an isolated issue

There are tons of users using the same update as you and do not experience the issues you have, or a small amount do.
Were still here to help though
