Pruning and Removing Backups
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You can manually delete a backup snapshot using the ``forget``
command:
.. code-block:: console
# proxmox-backup-client forget <snapshot>
.. caution:: This command removes all the archives in this backup
snapshot so that they are inaccessible and unrecoverable.
Such manual removal is sometimes necessary, but usually the prune
command is used to systematically delete older backups.
.. code-block:: console
# proxmox-backup-client prune <group> --keep-daily 7 --keep-weekly 4 --keep-monthly 3
.. note:: Neither the prune command nor the remove command free space
in the chunk-store. The chunk-store still contains the data blocks
unless you are performing :ref:`garbage-collection`.
