Delete a file from a time machine backup in Big Sur

[Furby2005]

I want to delete some files from the Time Machine backup of my iMac running Big Sur. In Catalina and before, you can enter Time Machine, find the file you want to delete, right-click on it and the option is there to either delete that one instance of the file or all instances of that file from the backup. In Big Sur, those options are no longer there! There appears to few no way to delete individual files/folders from the backup. Am I missing something here?

Same here @Furby2005 I reported this as a bug using the Feedback Assistant, I suggest you do the same...

I don't think this is permitted in the new TM. See the last few comments in https://eclecticlight.co/2020/06/29...r-how-time-machine-backs-up-to-apfs-and-more/

Friggin bs. I can't stand Apple. Always making stupid software decisions.
