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 a variety of ways.

Deleting entire backup

The most "drastic" one is deleting the entire backup from a computer on Acronis Cloud. To remove the backup, click the gear icon on an online backup box and then click Delete.

Cleanup settings

The Online backup options provide for automatic cleanup of Acronis Cloud. You can specify deletion of files that have been kept longer than the specified number of months or days. In addition, you can set the maximum number of file versions to be kept on Acronis Cloud. You can accept the default settings for those options or set the values you need. For more information see Acronis Cloud cleanup.

One-time cleanup

When your Acronis Cloud is full or is running out of space, we recommend that you use the cleanup tool in Acronis Cloud web application. This tool allows you to free up considerable amount of space on the cloud fast and easy.

Deleting specific files and folders

You can also manage Acronis Cloud by deleting individual files and folders.
