Delete backups ? - Acronis Secure Zone

Thread needs solution

Is there any way in Windows or command prompt to delete archives in Acronis Secure Zone ?  Apparently there is no way to do it when in Acronis !  I have two full backups, followed by an Incremental. I want to delete the 1st full backup due to space restrictions

Files within the ASZ should be managed via the settings for the backup task(s) that created those files in the ATI GUI.

The ATI 2020 User Guide has the following information that says that you should also be able to manually delete file in the ASZ.

See:  Acronis Secure Zone

Acronis Secure Zone cleanup

If there is not enough space in the Acronis Secure Zone for a new backup, you can:

  • Cancel the backup operation, increase the size of the Acronis Secure Zone, and then run the backup again.
  • Cancel the backup operation, manually delete some backups in the Acronis Secure Zone, and then run the backup again.
  • Confirm that you want to automatically delete the oldest backup of the same type (file-level or disk-level) with all subsequent incremental and differential versions. After that, if free space is still insufficient, Acronis True Image asks for confirmation and will delete the next full backup. This will repeat until there is enough free space for the new backup. If after deleting all the previous backups there is still not enough space, the backup will be canceled.

To prevent the zone overflow, we recommended that you select the When not enough space in ASZ, delete the oldest backup check box in the scheduled backup options. Refer to Error handling for details.

You can use the Acronis Secure Zone as the storage for virtual system changes in the Try mode. The Try&Decide data will be automatically cleaned up after you stop a Try&Decide session.

Acronis True Image does not delete nonstop backup versions in the Acronis Secure Zone automatically. Such versions can only be deleted manually. For more information see Acronis Nonstop Backup data storage.
