Removing 'Acronis' and it's sub folder 'Schedule' from windows 7 registry entries

Thread needs solution

I need to clear my PC completely of all traces of Acronis 2015 trial, and (if hidden somewhere) traces of previous 2010 program. I end up with a situation where it seems that I have successfully deleted these folders shown by regedit. These being the folder 'Acronis' and its sub-folder 'Schedule'
Later when I run regedit again - this blasted folder has returned!

I am reluctant to use the Acronis clean up facility because the last time I used this my PC would not reboot (A problem many have encountered I believe).

With such a long established product, I despair that Acronis do not seem to have yet grasped the reported problem generated by this software. More importantly, there does not at this stage appear to be any definitive answers (unless you know better)
If there are answers that I have overlooked - then its apologies to Acronis of course.
Back to the original appeal - how do I get rid of all the Acronis info and data from my Win 7 32 bit system?

Where iis it showing up and where are you deleting it? Some parts of the registry are populated by entries in other parts, depending on which user is using the mchine/os.

You can relax and fugetabowtit becuse a few bytes in a system using up billions isn't going to have a significant effect. Or you can serach for all entries in the registry and program traces using one of the programs made to do that. Revo unistaller is a good one if you jsut have to have that last byte free. But be careful, what you do in the registry. Always have a full disk backup so worst case scenario, you can get back to where you started. You can make or restore a full disk backup using the BootCD without having ATI installed.

- that indeed is very interesting to know - I wonder if that is generally known?

I have now manually gone through the registry (using regedit) and removed as much as I can. I am expecting the arrival of ATI 2014 soon, BUT, I am debating the use of macrium reflect to see if that does what I need on a more reliable basis than the trial 2015 which it was my misfortune to try. It really was an 'amazing experience!!!!!!!

I am computer literate, and run four clean well organized PC's - two of which run happily on ATI 2010.
Thanks for your time and comments

I did manage to remove the registry entries from the system registry in the end.

Since my original post, Acronis 2014 has arrived. It installed without any difficulties, and is doing everything as it should.
2014? definitely a big YES.
2015? definitely a big NO.

Glad you got everything you needed. ati2015 is a greatly simplified version compared to ati2014. But glad you are back in shape.
