.tibx file not seen in File Explorer remaining space after versions clean
Hi have manually cleaned (Acronis 2020) some versions in a incremental file... and now it's not considered in the File Explorer remaninig space.
The file is seen (see images), but its space is NOT considered. Why?? How to fix the bug?

I have deleted all versions but the first. I don't want to make a new incremental version risking to overwrite the current, since it's occuped SSD space results... ZERO.
I have circled the used space of 40 GB..... when the only .tibx file is of 107 GB !!!!
40 GB is the occuped space of tha "Dati" folder. The Win10 (102 GB) results 256 Kb !!

How did you "delete all versions but the first."?

Sorry for my English...
Simply I had the FIRST FULL backup and 9 incremental files: I have deleted the 9 incremental files and the current .tibx file is simply the first FULL backup.
So doing has been modified the "last modified date" of the full backup, but obviously I have NOT modified it, may be Acronis?

Ezio, when you deleted these files, was this using the new Acronis Clean up versions tool, or did you delete the files from Windows Explorer?

Starting from the Acronis program utility tree_list, selecting then all the incremental files + Delete button.
Deleting from Windows Explorere probably the Full Version last modify date would NOT be changed.
Probably
Copying and pasting the file the problem could be solved, but I'm not sure. Would be better to understand WHY after to have deleted the files the initial FULL backup is seen from Explorer as a 256 KB file......

Please try doing a Validation for the full backup file and see if this gives a successful result?

Tried: I can't validate, Acronis don't finds any version of the backup, but if I open the position Acronis opens the right folder with the 102 GB file

Ezio, in Explorer, right-click on your Partizioni.tibx file then try the Validation option from the Acronis True Image menu that is shown there.

Done. So doing the Backup results valid... but in explorer the space on SSD results always FREE, and so overwritable, i think.
I have solved DELETING the whole initial FULL backup... I have lost the backup of the clean installation, but patience, there are worse things.
Rests the question: why this problem deleting all the incremental files???

Ezio, this has been a very strange problem that I have never seen with any of my own backup tasks but I normally do not delete any incremental files unless deleting everything for a task.
