On Mac machines, there are two ways to remove files from your Restore Drive.

 

The first is to select the folder, file, or files, that you want to be removed and hold down Command + Delete.

 

The second is to select the folder, file, or files you want to be removed and right click and choose "move to trash".

 

In both instances, you will want to make sure to empty your trash before disconnecting your drives to ensure that the files are properly deleted.
