Quick note here. My backup drive is not encrypted. I need to play
with it some more but one thing I cannot do is delete files from the backup.

When I’ve checked my own Time Machine backups, the easiest way seems to be to
open the drive and navigate the folders in Finder in the usual way.
My Time Machine drive is set to show up on the Desktop.
After pressing Command+o on the drive, there was a list of folders named with
the date of the various backups, with the newest at the bottom of the list.
Within each of the folders there was a Data folder.
The contents of the Data folder is the same as the SSD of the MacBook. I could
navigate to my user folder and open Documents, Downloads, etc. I didn’t
actually try copying anything from the backup at the time.

Hello,
When selecting this option from the status bar, how does one navigate the
backup? I was trying to find a particular folder in the Finder. Thanks.
