Deleting backups
In help it says "in the backup section right click a backup" I have no idea how to get to this section. For the backup I want there are only 4 buttons along the bottom and none lead me to a choice of files.
It says deletes must be done through Acronis because of it's internal database so I can't delete through the PC explorer. What should I do?

In reply to Richard, not sure where you… by truwrikodrorow…

Thanks Steve,
I know the cleanup options but I have some tib files which when validating, hung at the last minute and also dont restore (it chooses an older one to restore) So I want to delete individual tibs not all of them and it says the internal Acronis database will not know if I delete in windows explorer..
It seems the only choice acronis offers now is delete all?

Richard, what are the individual .tib files? If these are incrementals, then you cannot delete these without breaking the whole backup version chain that they are a part of. If they are differentials, then they can be deleted. In either case, if you delete via Explorer, running a Validation for the backup task that created them is needed to resolve the Acronis Database information and reconcile against the files still present.
