Deleting backups created by ATI 2021

Thread solved

Can anyone tell me whether there is a problem with deleting old backups created through ATI 2021 through file explorer rather than ATI from within Windows?

I have had to reinstall ATI since I first created some of the backups and so I am not sure I can delete the older backups from within ATI in Windows but maybe someone can confirm the process.

RF, if your old backups are not associated with any backup tasks shown in the ATI 2021 GUI Backup list, then the only thing that might stop you from deleting unwanted backup files is if you have the Acronis Active Protection feature enabled.

If the ATI GUI does show that your old backup(s) have been added to the GUI automatically, i.e. were discovered when ATI was installed, then you should try to use the Clean up versions tool to delete unwanted files, or else take the option to Delete the task and associated files.

Thank you Steve for confirming the position.
