Back up files?

[Banger]

I would be grateful to you wizards if you could help. Its a simple answer to most i know but i hope you can help

I have about 14GB of backup files and it says i have only 1GB left. Does this effect the running of the computer?
Surely it's not supposed to be full or is it?
Can it be left alone or should it be cleared

Your help is much appreciated

What do you mean by 'backup files'?
Where are you storing these files ?

If you are using a backup program (are you) and are backing up to an external drive it is just warning you that it is getting full.
If the files are on the C drive, which is where windows is (if it is not a mac.. lacking info to really help)then yes it will slow the running of the computer down.
As A.A said you haven't given much to go on...

If it is a partition that nothing is reading from or writing to It shouldn't make a difference.
