BackInTime Can't Remove Snapshot?












0















I had my external drive power down during a snapshot due to a power failure and now the new_snapshot folder can't be removed.



At first, I thought that I could just give the program sudo permission, but this doesn't appear to work.



This is what happens upon using the GUI and trying to take a new snapshot:
SnapshotCan't remove snapshot



Here is what it looks like from terminal:



sarah@ConvergentRefuge:~$ backintime backup
