    Same issue, and can't just drag the Backups.backupbd because trash can't empty then. It will start going into the negatives with what to delete, and you are forced to cancel (I waited into the -400,000's before cancelling and tried multiple times) please help anybody!

    Sure: undo this. Put the folder back and then wipe the drive itself using Disk Utility. Just recreate it exactly as it was, but empty. Then use it again.
