Hi Klkoenig, thanks for bringing this to our attention

 

Are you able to view your backup on the site directly, and delete it from there?

 

This will help me to assist further!

Hello,
I can't see the backup on the website. Under “All files” I can only see my own folders, but no backup.

    Could you attach a screenshot of the backup page on the site?

     

    In addition, could you also click 'Show deleted backups' on the site and copy that screenshot here too?
