old backup not deleting
i have been using True Image 2017 a while now and thought i had it set to delete older backups/increments frequently and to do full backup every five times, but i do not see files getting deleted. Which of the files in the attached image can i safely delete and still have a viable backup. i do have "back up reserve" on another drive as well.
thanks for your support
also, what is the trick to get the program to doing a full backup at set intervals and delete old increments? I had it set to do that but it isn't

I have the same issue. The disc runs full because Acronis does not delete the old backups (I've set it to keep 2 versions and 2 incremental backups) but it still keeps three full so I have to delete the third manually before backup.

Morten, if your automatic cleanup settings are set to 'Store no more than 2 recent version chains' then you will still need sufficient space on the drive to hold those 2 chains plus a new Full backup image file as this is how ATI works. It does not delete the oldest version chain until after a new Full backup for the next chain has been created successfully.

Thanks Steve,
But there were 3 full backups with 2 incremental each when I started the backup again. So I had to delete one full with incrementals. When the backup was done, it correctly deleted on more automatically. So not really sure, what had happened, since that did not happen last time.
