Description
~~~~~~~~~~~
This command deletes an archive from the repository or the complete repository.
2018-07-12 20:00:19 +00:00
Important: When deleting archives, repository disk space is **not** freed until
you run ``borg compact``.
If you delete the complete repository, the local cache for it (if any) is
also deleted. Alternatively, you can delete just the local cache with the
``--cache-only`` option.
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
(for more info on these patterns, see ``borg help patterns``). Note that these
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.
