Expanding Time Machine Partition

[bingefeller]

Hi guys,

I'd like to make my Time Machine partition bigger but unsure how to do this. I did some searching and it was suggested not to erase the partition but to use the - to delete it and then add it back, only bigger. I'm a little confused as to how to this works and not even sure if it's the right solution so I thought that I'd ask here. Here is what my external USB drive looks like:

The problem is the TM volume is on the bottom and you cannot resize UP only down using the /// grab bar.

So you will need to delete the TM volume then resize untitled smaller, then add a new and larger TM volume back to the bottom.

Of course you will lose any data on the TM volume in doing this.

Alright thanks. I'll have to set some time aside to do this as I will need to copy my TM folder to another drive.
