      How should one go about manually deleting S3 Backblaze backups?

      I totally created this problem myself and I'm just working to clean it up and free up space.

      Early in our XO journey I moved some vm's around from one SR to another and moved them to a different on prem backup job and also a different S3 mirror.

      This left the existing backups in place and did not purge them. After their retention was passed I manually deleted (via XO) the on prem NFS backups. However, the S3 backups still live on and I can't figure out how to remove them.

      What's the best way to purge those?

      Thanks!

        If your XO is still connected to the S3 as a Back Repo, those backup could be removed from the backup/restore view of XO. Otherwise, you could remove them manually from the Backblaze UI.

          @olivierlambert Thanks! Seems obvious now that I clicked on it but I didn't know I could get to them through there.
