Redo One Care Backup

I backed up my system settings and data files using One Care early after I
installed Vista. A file of about 56 GB was created on the backup drive.
Then I optimized things and decided to do the backup again rather than to
keep the original file, so I deleted the original backup file and ran backup
again. The resulting backup was only about 6 GB. I didn't change that much.
I'm thinking that OC somehow created a file that did only a partial backup.
Maybe only files that changed, even though the original backup was deleted.
I looked at the backup file and I can't tell what's there. There are a lot
of files/folders that I can't recognize.

How can I delete everything OC has done so far and start over?
 
If you permit One Care to back up files as listed in it's default list - it
will result in a "huge" back up. When you redid the backup it only
considered files that changed.

Although you deleted the initial back up, One Care settings can be set so
that it does not check for backups - as in your case. Check your settings
via "View or change settings' then clicking the "Backup" tab.

Also review the default file listing - change the selections to those you
consider appropriate - otherwise One Care will back up files you never heard
of before.
