I did a backup to a particular database and restore it in another Server. Now I want to remove that backup. But I couldn't remove it. Whenever I remove it, I got the attached error. Could you please advise me how I could delete the backup entry from that database?

The issue is coming because you're trying to do this from the Backup Database window and hitting OK once you've removed the device (thus indicating that you want to perform a backup at this time)

Instead, navigate to "Server Objects", "Backup Devices" in the Object Explorer and remove it from there.

The "Backup Devices" is empty on my server. – TTCG Jan 7 at 14:42
