.SH DESCRIPTION
|

|
|
This command deletes archives from the repository.

|
.sp
|
|
When in doubt, use \fB\-\-dry\-run \-\-list\fP to see what would be deleted.
|
|
.sp
|
|
When using \fB\-\-stats\fP, you will get some statistics about how much data was
|
|
deleted \- the \(dqDeleted data\(dq deduplicated size there is most interesting as
|
|
that is how much your repository will shrink.
|
|
Please note that the \(dqAll archives\(dq stats refer to the state after deletion.
|
|
.sp
|
|
You can delete multiple archives by specifying a matching pattern,
|
|
using the \fB\-\-match\-archives PATTERN\fP option (for more info on these patterns,
