Description
~~~~~~~~~~~
2022-06-23 23:19:19 +00:00
This command deletes archives from the repository .
2018-07-12 20:00:19 +00:00
Important : When deleting archives , repository disk space is ** not ** freed until
you run `` borg compact `` .
2021-02-06 00:32:02 +00:00
When in doubt , use `` -- dry - run -- list `` to see what would be deleted .
2017-11-25 13:35:52 +00:00
When using `` -- stats `` , you will get some statistics about how much data was
deleted - the " Deleted data " deduplicated size there is most interesting as
that is how much your repository will shrink .
2018-07-12 20:00:19 +00:00
Please note that the " All archives " stats refer to the state after deletion .
You can delete multiple archives by specifying their common prefix , if they
have one , using the `` -- prefix PREFIX `` option . You can also specify a shell
pattern to match multiple archives using the `` -- glob - archives GLOB `` option
2022-02-19 17:47:47 +00:00
( for more info on these patterns , see : ref : `borg_patterns` ) . Note that these
2018-07-12 20:00:19 +00:00
two options are mutually exclusive .
2022-06-23 23:19:19 +00:00
Always first use `` -- dry - run -- list `` to see what would be deleted .
