|
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.
|
|
|
|
|
2022-10-02 13:51:17 +00:00
|
|
|
You can delete multiple archives by specifying a matching pattern,
|
|
|
|
using the ``--match-archives PATTERN`` option (for more info on these patterns,
|
2022-07-03 23:21:50 +00:00
|
|
|
see :ref:`borg_patterns`).

|
|
|
|
2022-06-23 23:19:19 +00:00
|
|
|
Always first use ``--dry-run --list`` to see what would be deleted.
