When I checked on the status of the weekly backup process on a Microsoft
Windows 10
system by issuing a wbadmin get versions command at
a command prompt, I saw that no
backups had been created since July of 2018.

C:\WINDOWS\system32>When I checked the free space left on the drive on which the backups were stored from the Windows File Explorer, I saw there was only a few megabytes of free disk space left, so I attempted to delete some of the prior backups with the wbadmin command, but I was unable to delete them with the message "failed with error: The specified media type is invalid" message appearing.
