I cannot delete a backup from TIH 2011

Thread needs solution

I have TIH 2011 latest build 6942. One of the backups that appears under "My backups" cannot be deleted. See "Nonstop backup" in the attached file. If I click Operations, Delete backup, I get the deletion confirmation screen, but it is not deleted.  I have rebooted and this still happens. My OS is Windows 7 SP1 64 bit. I am hoping to delete this entry without having to recreate all my backups.

Any advice is appreciated.

First, try this:
- run services.msc, stop the non-stop backup service,
- then unhide hidden folders on the disk where you store your non-stop backup, and delete the timeline storage explorer you have there,
- launch ATI and try to delete again the backup,
- if that fails, restart the non-stop backup service,
- launch ATi and try to delete again the backup.

If that doesn't work, you can try the following:
- in tools, export your backup settings to a file,
- uninstall ATI 2011,
- reboot,
- reinstall ATI 2011,
- import backup your backup settings.

If the bad backups reappear, and you still cannot delete them, the only option is to uninstall without exporting/importing the backup settings.
