If you keep files on computer and external but delete some items from computer files will that update on the external drive?

No, you have to also delete what you want from the external hard drive. Remember, an external hard drive is just like a internal one. So, for example, if you delete picture a on the internal hard drive, that's all that is deleted. If picture a is also on the external hard drive (why would it be though), then you need to also delete it there.

Once you backup files to an external hard drive can you delete them from the computer hard drive to create space?

It depends on the type of file you are talking about.If you back up your documents (Word, Excel) or photographs then you can certainly delete them from your computer hard drive once they're on the external hard drive. If you need them again you can simply plug the external hard drive to the computer in order to access them.If you're talking about program files than you have to consider whether or not the external hard drive will always be plugged into your computer. If you move a program file and then unplug the external hard drive then you should not delete the files unless you plan on plugging the external hard drive in (or leaving it attached) every time you want to use that program. If you don't mind accessing a program from the external hard drive every time you need to use it than you can certainly delete it from your computer hard drive. Otherwise, make a copy to the external hard drive as a backup in case you have computer problems and leave the original version you want to run regularly on your computer.
