Use the <<delete-snapshot-api,delete snapshot API>> to delete a snapshot
|
||
|
|
from the repository:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
[source,console]
|
||
|
|
----
|
||
|
|
DELETE /_snapshot/my_backup/snapshot_1
|
||
|
|
----
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
When a snapshot is deleted from a repository, {es} deletes all files associated with the
|
||
|
|
snapshot that are not in-use by other snapshots.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If the delete snapshot operation starts while the snapshot is being
|
||
|
|
created, the snapshot process halts and all files created as part of the snapshotting process are
|
||
|
|
removed. Use the <<delete-snapshot-api,Delete snapshot API>> to cancel long running snapshot operations that were
|
||
|
|
started by mistake.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To delete multiple snapshots from a repository, separate snapshot names by commas or use wildcards:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
[source,console]
|
||
|
|
-----------------------------------
|
||
|
|
DELETE /_snapshot/my_backup/snapshot_2,snapshot_3
|
||
|
|
DELETE /_snapshot/my_backup/snap*
|
||
|
|
