commit usage files directly into git the generation of those files was causing us way too much pain to justify automatically generating them all the time. those will have to be re-generated with `build_api` or `build_usage` as appropriate, for example when function signatures or commandline flags change. see #384

Description
~~~~~~~~~~~
This command deletes an archive from the repository or the complete repository.
update man pages / usage docs
2018-07-12 20:00:19 +00:00
Important: When deleting archives, repository disk space is **not** freed until
you run ``borg compact``.
build_usage
2020-04-12 17:51:49 +00:00
When you delete a complete repository, the security info and local cache for it
(if any) are also deleted. Alternatively, you can delete just the local cache
with the ``--cache-only`` option, or keep the security info with the
``--keep-security-info`` option.

When in doubt, use ``--dry-run --list`` to see what would be deleted.
build_usage (master) also: add new borgfs.rst.inc
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.
update man pages / usage docs
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

two options are mutually exclusive.
To avoid accidentally deleting archives, especially when using glob patterns,
it might be helpful to use the ``--dry-run`` to test out the command without
actually making any changes to the repository.
