6 Removing data from Online Storage
Because the available space on Acronis Online Storage is limited, you need to manage your Online
Storage space by cleaning up the obsolete data or the data you do not need anymore. Cleanup can
be done in a variety of ways. The most "drastic" one is removing a computer registered on the Online
Storage. Removing a computer results in deleting all data that was backed up from that computer.
Therefore, such an operation must be carried out with caution. To remove a computer, right-click on
its tab on the main screen and select Remove from Online Storage, then click Yes in the confirmation
window.
The Acronis True Image Online options provide for automatic cleanup of the Online Storage. You can
specify deletion of files that have been kept on the storage longer than the specified number of
months or days. In addition, you can set the maximum number of file versions to be kept on the
Online Storage. You can accept the default settings for those options or set the values you need. To
change the above options, click Options → Settings on the toolbar, and then select the Storage
cleanup item. For more information see Storage cleanup (p. 23).
You can also manage Acronis Online Storage by deleting individual files or even some of their
versions. Such deletions can be done only for the current computer.
1. Select the folder containing the files you want to manage on the directory tree in the left pane.
The right pane lists the files in that folder.
2. If you want to delete a file, select it in the right pane. When selecting multiple files for deletion
you can use the Ctrl and Shift keys like in Windows Explorer. Having finished selection, right-click
on the selection and choose Delete in the shortcut menu, then click Yes in the confirmation
window.
3. If you want to delete some versions of a specific file, right-click on the file and select View
Versions in the shortcut menu. This opens the File Versions window. Select the version you want
to delete, click the Delete icon (×) to the right of the version number, then click Yes in the
confirmation window. Repeat this for all file versions you want to delete. Having finished deleting
the versions, click Cancel to close the window.
