Can't erase a full backup

Thread needs solution

I like to create full backups manually at random internvals. The problem I'm having is that if I want to delete a single backup using explorer, I get a message that I can't so it because I need special administreator permissions. I've tried a hundred way to grant full access to the file/folder but still can't delete. If I delete via the Acronis interface I'll be deleting 'all the backups" which I don't want to do. It seems Acronis locks the files.

Please advise.

ameneses, the only time I have come across this type of locking of Acronis backup files is when you are using the Acronis Active Protection feature of the new ATIH 2017 New Generation / Premium version, where it is necessary to turn off AAP when trying to delete individual files.

If you do not have AAP then you may need to check what other security applications may be locking the file.

Arturo, glad to be able to help.
