Backup validation fails, but it's looking for data from old, previously deleted backups

Thread needs solution

Backup validation is failing for me, and I'm not sure what I can do to fix. I've deleted my backup and all it's settings, and created a new backup. When validation runs for the new backup, the backup succeeds but validation fails. The weird thing is, it's looking for files from the old backup, not the newly created backup.

Is there anyway to clear up whatever cache True Image has so that I can get a successful backup and validation?

Thanks!

Did you stop using the old task and create a completely new task point to a new storage folder or sub-folder?

Referring to the failed task, you can either change do "not scheduled" or place mouse pointer inside the task and click on the gear wheel (extreme right) and then choose the "Remove from list" option.

I deleted the old task from the UI, clicked on the gear -> delete -> settings. The old backup it's trying to validate does not show up anywhere.

The script tht is running the validation can probably be found in the Acronis folder named "scripts".
Each of these scripts can be viewed in Notepad so you can determine which one is specifically for the validation. The validation script can be deleted. An example of the beginning part of a validation script is below This is script 239533EA-EEE6-4CDF-9360-64A57A2480FD. You will need to look at each of the listed scripts to find the right one--probably the oldest scrpt.
