Time Machine

Time Machine couldn't complete the backup to "IMac TimeMachine" is the error message. I have a Seagate1TB external hard drive connected and it is backing up. How do I get TimeMachine to work?

Disk is full. TM is asking to create a new backup, deleting all old, after verifying backups dating to 2017.

No option to delete oldest backups and carry on, the desired procedure. Any thoughts on why?
