How to clean up the secure zone?

Thread needs solution

Hello,

I`m using Acronis Cyber Protect Home Office, Build 39703. How can I clean up or emty completly the existing Secure Zone? There are only 89 GB of 1,3 TB remaining. The Secure Zone Tool just offers 4 different options.

Stefan, welcome to these public User Forums.

Personally I do not use the ASZ and haven't done so for many years due to the many limitations it has compared to creating a separate NTFS partition and using BitLocker or other encryption.

The easiest method of completely clearing / cleaning the ASZ would be to first delete all tasks that write to it, including deleting backup files, then remove the ASZ itself using the options provided.

If you don't want to remove the backup tasks, then use the Clean up versions tool to remove all older backup files stored in the ASZ and change the Destination for each task to another location such as an external USB HDD and
