Can't Delete Old TI 10 Backups with TI 2011 in Win 7
I purchased a new computer with Win 7 Pro last fall. Backups of old XP computer using TI 10 Home are still on external backup disk along with many other files. I need to delete the old backups to clear space for TI 2011 Home backups of new C drive. Neither TI 2011 nor Win 7 Explorer will allow deletion of the old backups and TI 10 will not run under Win 7. I can't simply format the drive because I need to keep many other files on the disk.
Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

When trying to delete in Win 7 Explorer, I get this message:
"The action can't be completed because the folder is open in COM Surrogate."
I don't know what an Acronis Secure Zone is, so I assume I didn't! I just created a full image and incremental backups. When I needed to delete old ones on the old machine, I just used Win XP Explorer and started over.

Try to reboot the computer and try again.
If this doesn't work, reboot in safe mode and delete the old files this way.
