In Time Machine using the new OS Monterey, when I select a file the only options that show up in the Action Menu (or right click) now are Open/Restore/Get Info/Quicklook/Copy. Delete no longer shows up as an option. This is also true for complete backups. I am now running the new system 12.0.1 Monterey and I wonder if that option has now been removed?
MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 12.0
Welcome. I just assume it's because of the switch to APFS formatted Time Machine drives.
It was never a great idea to manually delete Time Machine files in the first place. APFS just makes it worse.

Yes.
Thanks, do you have any idea why such a usefull feature would be removed?
Thanks, I was wondering if APFS was the issue. Have a great day!
You're welcome. You too.
Why is it never a great idea to Time Machine files? Why does APFS make it worse? Thanks in advance.
Time Machine Delete option gone in OS Monterey?
