Hello
if you are talking about setting > enable Windows protection, where you can restore the system - then you can reduce the volume dedicated to backups to 3% and when full overwritten copies will be deleted!
I don't know if that's the answer to your question.

Deleted  yes so basically the configuration of Windows 10 backup are as per below:

1. backups configured to a shared network external drive 

2. backups are run on a daily basis 

 

Now the issue here is that we have to keep clearing the backups once a week or so. is there a way we can configure the windows 10 backup to override old backups if the drive is getting full ?

    Just as the disk fills up, older copies are automatically deleted.
    I still change the settings to minidamp - but I do not recommend for everyone .
    3% disk - is the smallest volume that you need to manually set.
