Answer 1

Hi,

The folder Immagini is somewhere hidden in your Documents folder in your PC. Please change the view settings of the folder by going to the Options in the right-hand side pane (see image below).

Now, go to the View tab and tick the checkboxes as shown in the image below and click on Applybutton in the bottom. 

After this, you will be able to see the Immagini folder inside your Documents folder. You can now delete it and try again for backup.

Let me know if this helps.

Best regards,

Rishabh
