Hi there, in KopiaUI, I cannot find a way to remove an entry\* from the list. I suspect I’ll have to resort to the command line to do so, but even there, how do we perform such an operation? * * * \* How do we call those entries? “jobs”, “sources”, “paths” ? ---

Are you talking about policies? The ones with an “\*” are the default repo policies… ---

Well, I guess I shouldn’t have included Markdown emphasis in the title… No, I’m talking about the source path to be backed-up, shown int the main/first window of _KopiaUI_. I have `/Users/example/folder1` and `/Users/example/folder2` with each their own scheduling policies. What if I don’t want to make snapshots of `/Users/example/folder2` anymore. How do I remove it from _Kopia_? That’s my main question. The secondary question is about _Kopia_’s nomenclature: how do we call those entries? ---

You’re correct - they are called `sources`. Each `source` has `snapshots`. Sources “exist” because they have snapshots or policies, there’s no other representation of sources per se in the repository. To remove snapshots, unfortunately there’s no great UI yet - you need to list all snapshots for the source (including incomplete and identical) and remove them manually, something like: ```auto $ kopia snap ls ~/Projects/Kopia --incomplete --manifest-id --show-identical jarek@jareks-mbp:/Users/jarek/Projects/Kopia 2020-02-29 21:52:29 PST k534403464d7e453c46b42dc1ba65fc53 888.8 MB dr-xr-xr-x

Great, that worked. To anyone in the same situation: The source won’t disappear right away. For me, it kept showing up with a size of `0 B`. But it disappeared after deleting policies targeting the removed source.
