Delete a saved backup

I created a back up when I first installed KTS several years ago. Due to changing hardware I found it necessary to create a new back up with different and some additional folders. How do I delete the old backup? I've already set the schedule to 'On Demand Only' so it won't automatically run (I hope), but would really like to delete it so it doesn't cause confusion. Also, Can I rename a backup? Thanks.
