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.

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.

One-time cleanup

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

You can clean up the backups one by one separately, even the encrypted ones. The password will be requested.

To do this:

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 Clean up button.
4. In the opened window, configure the cleanup settings, and then click Clean up now.

To perform a one-time clean-up for all non-encrypted backups, use the following option:

1. Go to Account tab.
2. Click Clean up button.
