Deleting old backup files
T run Acronis 2019 under Windows 10. I have tried to get an answer to this problem via the Acronis True Image Version 2019 Forum but there seems to be no activity there after 2022. Perhaps someone can offer a solution here.
I ran into trouble with an incremental backup file on my external hard drive and had to create a new file from scratch. Unfortunately the old file remained on my external (but was removed from the backup list on the lefthand side of the opening screen. Here the new file was listed and works normally.
When I tried to delete the old backup file from my external using File Explorer, I was told I needed administrative rights in spite of the fact that I already have administrative rights. I tried via File Properties to redefine administrative rights to include "Full rights" but this did not help.
Any help to avoid reformatting of my external drive would be greatly appreciated.
