.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
.sp
|
|
borg [common options] delete [options] [REPOSITORY_OR_ARCHIVE] [ARCHIVE...]
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.sp
|
|
This command deletes an archive from the repository or the complete repository.
|
|
.sp
|
|
Important: When deleting archives, repository disk space is \fBnot\fP freed until
|
|
you run \fBborg compact\fP\&.
|
|
.sp
|
|
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 \fB\-\-cache\-only\fP option, or keep the security info with the
|
|
\fB\-\-keep\-security\-info\fP option.
|
|
.sp
|
|
When using \fB\-\-stats\fP, 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.
|
|
Please note that the "All archives" stats refer to the state after deletion.
|
|
.sp
|
|
You can delete multiple archives by specifying their common prefix, if they
|
|
have one, using the \fB\-\-prefix PREFIX\fP option. You can also specify a shell
|
|
pattern to match multiple archives using the \fB\-\-glob\-archives GLOB\fP option
|
|
(for more info on these patterns, see \fBborg help patterns\fP). Note that these
|
|
two options are mutually exclusive.
|
|
.sp
|
|
To avoid accidentally deleting archives, especially when using glob patterns,
|
|
it might be helpful to use the \fB\-\-dry\-run\fP to test out the command without
|
|
actually making any changes to the repository.
|
|
