borg-rdelete - Delete a repository
borg [common options] rdelete [options]
This command deletes the complete repository.
When you delete a complete repository, the security info and local cache for it
(if any) are also deleted. Alternatively, you can delete just the local cache
with the
--cache-only option, or keep the security info with the
--keep-security-info option.
Always first use
--dry-run --list to see what would be deleted.
