Deleting recovery points within a set
A recovery point set can contain multiple recovery points created over time that

the first recovery point and last recovery point in the set.
Warning:
Be careful about which recovery points you choose to delete. You could
inadvertently lose data. For example, you create a new document, which is captured
in the third recovery point in a recovery point set. You then accidentally delete
the file, which is captured by the fourth recovery point. If you delete the third
recovery point, you permanently lose the version of the file that was backed up.
If you are unsure, you should explore the contents of a recovery point before you
delete it.
