Unable to delete backup versions on True Image 2020

Thread needs solution

I'm unable to delete backup versions on True Image 2020, even after an uninstall and install.

I can't delete a single item or all items. A complicating factor is the external drive is full. I would expect True Image to be able to delete old versions before adding a new one, but it doesn't.

I purchased the product on August 18, 2020. This was 2 days before True Image 2010 was release. Apparently, support only lasted 2 days! That's why I'm asking for support here.

Thanks,

Jack

Jack, welcome to these public User Forums.

How are you trying to delete your old backup files here?

See KB 61844: Acronis True Image 2019, 2020 and 2021: How to delete old backups for the method that should be used via the 'Clean up versions' tool.

Note: there is a known issue that the tool needs to have around 250MB of free space on the backup storage drive in order to work correctly when updating metadata for files being deleted!

If your backup drive is completely out of space, then you first need to turn off Acronis Active Protection before deleting a small file to create that required free space, after which you should still use the Clean up versions tool to do further deletions, plus turn AAP back on again.
