Remove group from CLI

[Sudodude]

Hello,

Please forgive if this has been posted but my initial search turned up no results.

I would prefer to use the CLI when deleting backups for VMs that I am deleting. I know it's possible to delete an individual backup, but is it possible to delete an entire backup set for a VM? In the GUI it's referred to as "Permanently forget group" when clicking on the trash can at the top level of a VM.

Thanks in advance!

Any thoughts/ideas? There must be a CLI way to do it since it can be done in the GUI.

Thanks!

there is currently no direct cli command built in to do this ( feel free to open a feature request here: https://bugzilla.proxmox.com)
you can either manually remove the folder from the datastore (e.g. vm/100 )

or use the proxmox-backup-debug tool, but that is more intended for debugging purposes

alternatively you can also use some http client to make the right requests, but for this you need to create a ticket, etc.

Thanks! I'm surprised that there is not a command to do so. I will submit a feature request!
