How to cleanly uninstall Acronis True Image 2018?

Thread needs solution

Acronis True Image came with the tablet. It is taking nearly 1 GB. That's what I can see from properties. Maybe it is taking more space. I simply need to uninstall this program. How do I do that, without troubling Windows 10 and my tablet?

Chanath, welcome to these User Forums.

Looking at the installed program size for ATI 2018 on my own computer shows it as 752MB but this may vary according to which specific build of the application you have and any other features you have installed.

The key benefits of keeping ATI 2018 is that it can help protect your investment in your computer tablet by helping you make backup images of the OS and all installed applications and data, so that in the event of a significant problem or failure during a Windows OS Update, you would have an immediate means of recovering your tablet to the state it held when the backup was created.

To uninstall ATI 2018, you can go to the Windows Control Panel, Programs & Features and select to uninstall it from there.  If you are concerned that there may be any residue of the application left over after uninstalling, there is an Acronis Cleanup Tool linked in my signature below that can be used to remove this.

Thank you for the quick reply. I've learned a lesson a decade or so ago to keep my data away from the computer at hand. The programs can be reinstalled, if Windows 10 dies by any chance. I had some trouble with Win7, but never had any trouble with Win10.  No blue screen of death at all. Data are in all my machines, and some in the cloud, so they don't get lost. I can always reset my machines, as they have a digital license.  

I don't know Acronis, so I can't give an opinion, only I don't like apps that come installed, which are sort of there only for 3 months (or a given time) and then asked to be paid. That's the reason, I wanted to uninstall Acronis, just as I uninstalled "free for one year, but give your credit card number" Office 365.  

If you say that this Acronis might leave some residue, then it is not that OK app.

EDIT: Checked for those registry entries as in your cleanup tool. No residue found (nothing to delete). Acronis was cleanly got uninstalled (at least for now) through Windows uninstall utility.
