Unable to delete backup

Thread needs solution

Using ATI 2016, and I am trying to delete a backup from the list on the left, but it refuses to delete.  The tib files are gone from the destination, but the backup is still listed.  How do I get rid of that?  I have tried repeatedly.  Sometimes the progress dialog pops up and then disappears, and the backup remains listed.  Other times, the progress dialog pops up, but never goes away.

Seems I was having the opposite problem as seen there.  I was choosing "Whole Backup" and the tib files were going away, but the settings file was not going away.  Instead, when I chose "Settings Only," it finally got rid of my settings from the listing.

I have no idea what build I'm using and cannot it figure out from the About screen.

Les, if the .tibs are already gone, instead of deleting the entire/whole backup.  Select the option to just delete "settings" for that task.  Does it go away after that?

 

**EDIT*** Just reread your post and it sounds like you already did this and that worked. That is normaly behavior. If the .tib's are already gone, using the delete settings option is the way to go.
