Removing data from Acronis Cloud (p. 86).
4.6.9 Removing data from Acronis Cloud
Because the available space on Acronis Cloud is limited, you need to manage your cloud space by
cleaning up the obsolete data or the data you do not need anymore. Cleanup can be done in Acronis
True Image and also via the Acronis Cloud web application.
Deleting an entire backup
The most drastic option is deleting the entire backup from Acronis Cloud. When a backup is deleted,
all of its data is permanently erased. Deleted ata cannot be recovered.
In Acronis True Image:
Click the down arrow icon next to the backup to delete, and then click Delete. The backup and all its
versions, settings, and schedule will be deleted.
In the Acronis Cloud web application:
1. Go to https://www.acronis.com/my/online-backup/webrestore/, and then log in to your Acronis
account.
2. On the Backups tab, move over the backup that you want to delete.
3. Click the size of the backup, and then the detailed view will appear.
4. Click Delete in the detailed view.
Note that the backup will be deleted from Acronis Cloud, but all of its settings and schedule will
remain in the Acronis True Image application.
Deleting the versions of a backup to cloud
In Acronis True Image:
1. Click the down arrow icon next to the backup which versions you want to delete, and then click
Clean up versions. .

The details view of the backup opens.
