Can't Delete Backup Plan - Execution State "Stopping"

Anybody?

Hi.
I had the same problem on 93 servers at the same time.
do the following:
-run "services.msc"
-stop any acronis services (if they don't stop disable them and kill the relevant process from task manager; then enable them back)
-restart services

now you should be able to cancel the task

Thanks Hyphen. I tried this and it did not work for me. I'm using ABR 10 Workstation. When I disable Managed Machine Service, I lose connection with the localhost. If Acronis is not running, it won't start up. If it is running when I disable MMS, it loses connection and I can't see any backup plans. Stopping and starting the service had no effect, I still can't delete the task.

You can delete the incomplete non-editable, non-deletable tasks following the below steps:

1.Run Schedmgr.exe and issue the following command: C:\Program Files\Acronis\BackupAndRecovery
   task zap
2.Delete the content of the following folders:
Windows XP, Windows 2000/2003 (32/64 bit)
- \Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Acronis\BackupAndRecovery\MMS\Policies\
- \Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Acronis\BackupAndRecovery\MMS\TasksStorage\
- \Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Acronis\BackupAndRecovery\MMS\PolicyStatistics
Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 (32/64 bit)
- \ProgramData\Acronis\BackupAndRecovery\MMS\Policies\
- \ProgramData\Acronis\BackupAndRecovery\MMS\TasksStorage\
- \ProgramData\Acronis\BackupAndRecovery\MMS\PolicyStatistics

But you will have to recreate ALL the tasks. Acronis did not factor in a method to remove individual failed plans.

Hi all!

Thank you for your comments!

Steven is almost right, and I just wanted to add, that there's actually an opportunity to delete just the fault task. Here how you can do it: 

1. Run schedmgr.exe and issue this command
   get list
   It will provide you with the list of tasks you have
2. Find the one you need to delete and enter the following command:
   task [task_number]
   This will get you to this task menu
3. As soon as you are in the task menu, enter
   Delete
   and the task will be removed
