      I want to start fresh with my backups.
      I have removed all backup jobs from XOA, all backups through the Health tab. Only Backup left is the Metadata.
      However on the Backup NFS Server I still have 350GB worth of files under the xo-vm-backups directory.
      Can I safely delete them? Or what's the best way to safely remove all backups and start from Scratch?

        @ditzy-olive The backups are really deleted on next backup that will delete data safely

        If your 100% sure you don't want any VM backup on this remote you can delete the xo-vm-backups folder

          @florent perfect! Thank you.
          I want a clean start since the Backup Server had some issues and ran out of space so I just want to start fresh.

            Yeah for doing a fresh start it's easiest to just nuke the backup directory you were using and start over, have done it before and it's quick and easy vs trying to manually remove them all within XOA.
