When merging TB directories, backups will accumulate and waste space. Within the TB app there's a command to clean the backup directory and only keep the newest backup(s). With this little tool, you can do the same on your PC.
It handles changing archive extensions well and doesn't delete other files in the directory that don't belong to app backups. If several backups share an apk file, it is kept if one of the backups is to be kept.
