Delete old backups - Help file not updated?

Thread needs solution

The HELP file for 2016 says:
-----------------------------------
To delete an entire backup:
In the Backup section, right-click a backup in the My backups list, and then click Delete.
Depending on a backup type, this command completely deletes the backup from its location or allows you to choose whether you want to delete the backup completely or the backup box only. When you delete a backup box only, the backup files remain in the location, and you will be able to add the backup to the list later. Note that if you delete a backup completely, the deletion cannot be undone.
----------------------------
Well, there IS no "My backups list". I have 4 backups from the ATI 2015 and need to dump a couple of them to make space. The instructions seem to refer to the old version. I cannot see anywhere to access a list of old backups and manage them. H-e-l-p!

You have to add them to Acronis database. The Add Backup button has to its right a circle with what appears to be an upside down arrow head. Click on the circle and you can add backups.

Or you could just delete the backups using file manager (not normally recommended but should not be an issue as the backups are not in the data base).
