I have a 2 TB Macbook M1. I back it up every few months onto an external hard drive via Time Machine. Is it safe and possible to erase older back ups (ie back up from 4 months ago) to free up space on the hard drive?

External Time Machine drives should automatically free up space when you are running out. This information can be found at the bottom of this Support page: Back up your Mac with Time Machine - Apple Support
”The oldest backups are deleted when your backup disk is full.”
Let me know if this answered your question.
Thank you. I always thought that statement meant the internal disk. I will try it and see.
Thank you!
