Delete Backup Data from Unused VM

[dhanyg]

Hello, I want to free up my PBS space. I have some unused VMs but those are still backed up to PBS. What is the correct way to delete those VM backups from PBS? Is it okay if I just click the Trash button? The button says "Pemanently forget group". Thank you for your respon.

Yes, that trashcan is the correct item to click.

Please note that this will mark those backups for deletion. You will only see more free space after 24hours, and after a Garbage Collection has done its job.

Thank you very much for your answer. I'll wait until tomorrow and see if the free space is increased.
