Actually the problem is that I don’t know how to remove it. My mate installed for me and somehow we lost touch. Now it takes half of the memory of my laptop.
I just wanna remove it completely and delete what’s in it and just stick to my original/default settings. Does anyone have any advice?
Thanks in advance.
You should have a shortcut item in your Start Menu > Acronis section named "... Acronis OS Selector". This launches the setup module allowing you to make whatever modifiations you desire to the OS Selector (i.e., "uninstall").
If you cannot locate the Start Menu shortcut, the EXEcutable it points to is named "OSSelectorSetup.EXE" (e.g., ...\Program Files\Acronis\...\OSSelectorSetup.exe). Simply search for and locate that filename, then launch it directly.
TIP: You may want to consider "deactivate" rather than "uninstall" (unless you''re sure you'll NEVER want use it in the furture).
Please post back if you have any further questions, or just to let me know how everything worked out.

What Acronis application do you have installed? Is it "Acronis Disk Director"?
"couldn't find it on my Start Menu" ... In that case, did you perform a search for the file "OSSelectorSetup.EXE" and launch it directly as I advised?
"I did manage to unistall via CONFIGURATION and UNISTALL ACRONIS SELECTOR" ... This concerns me! By "CONFIGURATION", do you mean the "System Configuration Utility" (msconfig)? If so, you havn't uninstalled anything. You at best merely deactivated an Acronis startup. More than that, it is NOT advisable to use the "System Configuration Utility" for the purposes of managing your system startups.
"The problem is the memory is still split into two XPs. How can I free out the memory? Should I have done this before uninstalling it?" ... I'm not sure what you are describing here. If you uninstalled "ACRONIS SELECTOR", what memory is it taking up? "...two XPs" ... ???
Assuming you still have Acronis installed om your system, and you wish to deactivate its boot-up OS selector, I would advise you to perform the actions I've already detailed. If you wish to uninstall Aconis altogether, go to [Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs] and locate the applicable Acronis app and execute an uninstall.
Good luck and please post back (1) if you have any further questions (2) with clarification (3) or just to let me know how everything worked out.

Simple. I used Revo uninstaller. It will completely remove Acronis. The few other files can be removed using Registery cleaner.

Cheers for the advice but I couldn't find it on my Start Menu. However, I did manage to unistall via CONFIGURATION and UNISTALL ACRONIS SELECTOR.
BUT:
The problem is the memory is still split into two XPs. How can I free out the memory? Should I have done this before unstalling it?
Thanks in advance.
Acronis is now deleted but my hard drive is still split into two partitions. From COMPUTER MANAGEMENT, I was able to delete the what was in it and it's FREE SPACE.
BUT:
How can I extend my partition using the FREE SPACE?
