How To Delete Backup That Hasn't Run Yet

Thread needs solution

In the HELP, it says that you right-click on the backup name and select "DELETE." However, if the backup hasn't run yet, there is no option to delete it when you right-click. 

How do I delete a backup that hasn't run yet?

Robert, when you created this backup that hasn't run yet, did you actually click on the 'Backup ...' button and selected one of the options from the drop-down menu shown, i.e. Backup in x hours or Backup later?

If not, then ATIH hasn't actually saved the new backup task and there is therefore nothing to be deleted - if you just close the application the unsaved task will disappear.

If the task has been saved, then there should be an option shown in the (V) menu list to either delete or remove the task.

If all else fails, you can close ATIH, then navigate in Windows Explorer to C:\ProgramData\Acronis\TrueImageHome\Scripts where you will find one or more .TIS files - these are associated with your backup tasks.  Open these one at a time in a text editor such as Notepad, starting with the one with the latest date/time stamp, then check in the text near the top of the file for the backup task name.  Once you have found the right .TIS file, you can simply delete that file to remove the task.
