Can anyone remember which folder the mediasmart backups are stored in... somewhere on the storage drive... cant remember which folder this is.... so that backups can be manually deleted without having to go into the mediasmart backups tab and deleting from there (even when deleted the backups from this tab it still says that 3GB of data is used)... thanks

Unless you delete all of your backups, you will still be using almost the same amount of space. Each nightly backup is incremental, only backing up new or changed files.

Part of me says to not answer this as you are VERY, VERY likely to get yourself into trouble trying to manipulate the WHS Clint Backup Database directly. I strongly advise against this.

Than said the database is in D:\folders\{00008086-058D-4C89-AB57-A7F909A47AB4}.

If you do disable it do it through the console. Turn off the backups for the clients and reset the database using the WHS Toolkit Add-In.
