You should be able to highlight the ones that you want to remove then click on the delete button.

From what I understand is that each backup is just the difference between the original backup and the current system.

each backup is just the difference between the original backup and the current system.

So what if I Deleted the very first backup itself (which is manual backup), does the following backups become obsolute since the follwing backups created links from the original backup ?

To be honest I haven't had the need or the time to delve that deeply into how Timeshift works sorry.
