Free up drive space on backup drive

Thread needs solution

I am running Acronis True Image 2015..   My external drive, which I back my data to, has run out of space. Are there any files that I can delete from my backups to allot some space...

Not knowing exactly what files are required to restore my data, I do not wish to delete files that are necessary...

Could you let me know which files must be kept, and which ones can be deleted...

Chris, welcome to these user forums.

Without more information from you, it will be difficult to advice on any backup files that you could delete from your external backup drive.

Please provide some screen shots or file listings for your external drive, so that we can see what you are looking at.

Please also post a screen shot of your backup tasks list from the ATIH 2015 GUI, so that we can see what tasks are present that may have created your backup files on the external drive.

Finally, what settings have you set for your backup tasks, in particular, have you configured any automatic cleanup options?
