Removing automatic backup copies of documents

[Deborah Turner]

I have deleted several documents in my documents. Each
time I do so, it automatically makes up a backup copy.
Now I have hundreds of backup files that I can't seem to
get rid of.

Can someone help me?

Thanks,

Deborah

Word doesn't make backup copies when you delete files. It can make them when
you save files. When you delete the files in My Documents, delete the
backups at the same time. Delete these files from within Windows, not from
Word.
