How to tell which BEs are ok to delete. What is common practice
regarding deletion of BEs?

(I do know what the `N' and `R' mean and so not to delete them)

In my current list of BE's (shown at end of post)
I see one marked as backup-1... this is not something I did purposely so
must be the result of an update.  Is there any reason not to delete that
one?


If you haven't needed it by now, I wouldn't think you will.

I'm thinking I could delte 0-11 including `4-backup-1' without expecting
any bad repercussions. Is that about right?


Yes.

I do notice that 1 and 7 are quite a lot larger than the others (not
including the one designated `14 R') and wonder how that happens and if
it has baring on what to delete?


Depends on activity while that BE was running and the difference in package content between it and the prior one. Larger ones will be expected to free up more space.
