How to delete an archive from Acronis secure zone

Thread needs solution

I'm pulling my hair over this!!! I just can't find a way to delete an old archive now that my hard drive space is getting filled with new movies and songs. Someone please give me a solution on how to delete old archives. I'm using Acronis® True Image Home® version 10.0 (build 4,942). Some of the steps I tried were:

1. Tools -> Manage Acronis Secure Zone -> In popup window, clicked next -> Manage Acronis secure zone -> Increase, decrease? doesnt make any sense

2. Backup and recovery -> Manage acronis secure zone -> Same as above

3. Backup and recovery -> delete backup location -> cannot fine archive

Thank you so much for any help

More info: Just so there is no confusion here is the complete scenario.
I have many computers (i run a gaming cafe). I took a hard drive from one of the computers and connected it to the main computer. Then I ran acronis true image and took a backup of that hard drive and saved it in the acronis secure zone.
As I kept adding additional games, i kept taking additional backups (Some incremental, decremental, complete new etc, kinda messed up). After that final backup (new full backup), I got the need to delete all the other backups as they were obsolete since the latest backup had everything in store. please reply if more info needed

Hello Avi,

Let me help you.

Unfortunately, it is impossible to remove some certain backups from Acronis Secure Zone in Acronis True Image 10 Home.

This ability was implemented only in Acronis True Image 2009 Home. So if you want to delete some files, I may suggest you to upgrade to the latest version - Acronis True Image Home 2010. You can download and install the trial version of the software to make sure it works fine on your PC.

In your case, you can also delete the entire Secure Zone with all backups and then re-create it anew.

Please let me know if you have any additional questions.

Thank you.
