## Delete snapshot repository configuration
|
|
|
|
Deletes a snapshot repository configuration.
|
|
|
|
A repository in OpenSearch is simply a configuration that maps a repository name to a type (file system or s3 repository) along with other information depending on the type. The configuration is backed by a file system location or an s3 bucket. When you invoke the API, the physical file system or s3 bucket itself is not deleted. Only the configuration is deleted.

|
|
To learn more about repositories, see [Register or update snapshot repository]({{site.url}}{{site.baseurl}}/api-reference/snapshots/create-repository).

DELETE _snapshot/my-opensearch-repo
|

|
|
#### Sample response
|

|
Upon success, the response returns the following JSON object:
|

|
|
````json
|
|
{
|
|
"acknowledged" : true
|
|
}
|
|
````
|
|
|
|
To verify that the repository was deleted, use the [Get snapshot repository]({{site.url}}{{site.baseurl}}/api-reference/snapshots/get-snapshot-repository) API, passing the repository name as the `repository` path parameter.
