# How do I remove a backup set?

Click the trash button at the top right of the set's card (*"Remove this backup set"*). The set disappears from Data Backup and stops running. Removing it from the list doesn't erase the versions already stored at its destination.

The built-in **Fast drive working set** can't be removed — only switched off with **Back up automatically** — so protecting your fast drive always stays one tap away.
