I have a Transcend 320GB external drive that I use as my backup. After the episode of last evening, I am getting a message that says "backup failed, not enough room."

I guess I am just having a dumb period in my life as I cannot figure out how to open the Transcend to delete old backups. I cannot even find the drive:(

Can someone please help with this Time Machine issue. Thank you.

UPDATE: So it seems the backup files were corrupt and maybe Time Machine wasn't deleting enough old backup files to make room for new backups. So I erased and reformatted the Transcend drive. Time Machine is doing a complete backup now. Ugh, almost felt like I was using a PC again;)
