Not sure what you are trying to do: make room for a *new* backup by deleting an old one no longer required, or reinstate that old backup because you might still need it?
To reverse a previous deletion (send to Trash) you just repeat that (command-delete) on that folder now in Trash.
Please do NOT do something rash than cannot be reversed!?

I did a really dumb thing when I looked at my back up drive. I saw that the back up for my old Mac Pro was in there, and without thinking I sent it to the trash. Unfortunately there was no option to? put it back and if I tried to drag it there, it just wanted to make a copy. I tried Trash it..didn¡¯t work. I tried delete immediately by trying to do one folder at a time, and that didn¡¯t work. If I can¡¯t get the old back up out of the trash, My new computer is in trouble. If I could only have the option of Putting it back, that should solve here problem, but I see no where to do that.
Any ideas of how, or a way to get my trash can emptied?
