avc delete

Removes a snapshot from the database. Any object blobs that are no longer referenced by other snapshots are also garbage-collected.

Usage

avc delete snap-abc123
avc delete snap-abc123 --json

JSON output

{
  "id": "snap-abc123",
  "success": true
}

Caution

Caution

This is permanent. There is no undo. Once a snapshot is deleted, the only way to recover those files is from another snapshot that contains them (look up the file with avc file-history).

If you only want to retire a snapshot from view but keep its data, you can ignore it instead — AVC has no archive concept, but you can filter it out in the VSCode extension or Web UI sidebar.
