Cannot delete a newly made backup scheme

Thread needs solution

I have True Image 2016 build 6571   I am on Windows 10

 

I made a copy of a back up scheme and want to delete it.  It has never run.  When I go to the Acronis window I can click on the drop down and select delete but nothing happens and task remains

Is it just me or is ATIH now broken and not work the money?  It used to work so well and now it does not

Tudorbacker, are you trying to delete the whole backup or just the settings for the backup?

ATIH is working for the majority of users as far as I am aware and by my own personal experience.  A lot of the issues that are being reported are as much about the increased complexity of the computer systems and environments where ATIH is being used as anything else.

I am on Windows 7. I have the same problem. On my first use of Aceonis 2016, I started a backup of my entire PC

to the Acronis Cloud. I left my computer ON for days. The estimated time to finish was over 3 days.

I finally Paused  it. Now I can not delete this backup request. I have since, gone under Options to select

NO backup schedule. I decided to use my USB Terabyte Drive.

Robert, try deleting the backup from your cloud account first.  If it is not successful, run the cleanup in the cloud to only maintain the last backup  or 1 backup first.  Then try to delete it after that.

You can then manually delete the task in your app by finding the task in C:\ProgramData\Acronis\TrueImageHome\Scripts  (open them in notepad and look for the backup name that matches).  Once you find it, delete it.
