Backups from Previous version all screwed up

Thread needs solution

I just bought Acronis TI 2016 with my upgrade to Windows 10.  My previous version was TI2014.  After installing, it shows only certain previous backups and multiples of it.  How do I fix this.  Already uninstalled and reinstalled.  No luck.

Acronis searches for "existing" backups by default and this is the ugly result.  I don't like it either and have been advocating to make a change so that users can either pick the folders they want to to have autosearched, or to turn autosearch off completely.

Your previous backups should be mixed in there somewhere with the correct name so make not of those.  For all of the other ugly ones that show up now with the full backup name (different versions of the old existing backup), unfortunately, you have to click the little drop down carrot \/ at the end of the name, click DELETE, but select SETTINGS ONLY.  This will remove it from the console but leave the actual backup file in place.  You have to do this for each of these instances as well.

I don't like it either, but the good thing is you should only have to do this once for each of them and then you'll have the clean console again. Please submit your feedback about this directly through the application as well.  I really hope to see this changed too, but we need more people to provide their inputs on it to get proper attention.
