Assuming mac works the same as my PC, the easiest way is to load one of the leagues you want to KEEP. (Make sure of this so that you don't delete it by mistake).

Then go to File, Load Game again and this time highlight a league that you want to delete. As long as it's not the currently loaded game, the Delete button will become active. Double-check that it's one of the ones you want to get rid of and then click OK to delete.

It does a good job, too, game folder and all.

Oh, wait a minute. You said "backups." Did you mean backups or leagues?

EDIT: If you meant backups of your leagues, if you want to delete them from within the game (at least at the beginning), I would open up the Backups folder by clicking File, Backups, Backup Current Game, then click Open Folder. I don't know how it is on a Mac, but in Windows you can right-click each backup folder and delete it.

I don't even use the backup function on the game anymore. I just back up the .dat files. It cuts the backup time to less than one minute.

Best to delete from a file manager not the game.
