OK. I have a 250 GB internal drive 200 of which is full. I have a 1 TB external Time machine back up drive. I just went to create a new time machine back up and I am told that my external drive is full. WTF?? Isn't time machine supposed to delete old back ups as needed?

It just about fills the backup volume first, then rolls old backups to free enough capacity for the next backup.
"As needed."

I think it needs serious help with its 'rolling'.
