Description¶

This command deletes the complete repository.

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.

Always first use --dry-run --list to see what would be deleted.

Examples¶

# delete the whole repository and the related local cache:
$ borg rdelete
You requested to DELETE the repository completely *including* all archives it contains:
