    How do you go about deleting backups left on the local file system?

    I need to free up that space somehow.

    Thanks!

    @staff I guess this info should be added to the docs

    I use Cloudron with Gandi & Hetzner

    Any suggestions on where we can add this information in the UI?

    The reason why we cannot cleanup the old local backups is because we don't have the old backup configuration to clean up.

    @girish for now I'm just suggesting adding something to the docs, like:

    To delete old local filesystem back-ups, ssh into your server:

    example command

    then cd to the relevant folder

    example command

    You can then use e.g. rm -r to remove specific backups

    example command

    @MichaelF Think we have to take a step back. How do you know you have old local backups ?

    @MichaelF This is showing the backup size in your current backup configuration. So, you have to go to the folder where you have configured your backups. Are you not able to clean up existing backups using the clean backups button? You can temporarily change the retention policy to one day to make it remove it all the old stuff past one day.
