I backed up OX Base System two times on time capsule

I backed up OS X Base System two times on time capsule, how to delete one of them to clear space on time capsule? Thanks!

I don't see why there's any need to back up the "base system" (from the recovery partition) at all.

You can always boot into internet recovery and "have it that way"...

Thanks for replying. Can you advise if it is ok I do this:

1. Delete my macmini from the time capsule?
2. exclude os x base system from backup?

Thanks!

I don't use Time Machine -- can't really advise further.
(except to say... try CarbonCopyCloner or SuperDuper instead!)
