Permission to Delete

Thread needs solution

I have True Image 2018.  For two years, I've been deleting backup files on a weekly basis.  Today I get the message that I need to provide administrator permission to delete.  I am running ATI as administrator.  When I turn off Acronis Active Protection, I still get the same message.

Troy, welcome to these public User Forums.

If you have turned off AAP then I cannot see why Acronis would be preventing you from deleting your backup files.

The one comment I would make is that if you are deleting backup files outside of the options offered in ATI then you are potentially storing up other issues due to other information being left behind in the internal Acronis database about all backup files created.  You should run a validation if deleting backup files using such as Explorer and then answer the error pop-up messages that are shown because of the missing files.
