Size of Kopia repository

Support
1

The size of my Kopia repository is growing, even though I have deleted snapshots from a particular date and also deleted all snapshots for one particular job which was almost 90GB. I did not see my repository shrink by 90GB. Is there something I need to do in order to reduce the size of the repository after deleting snapshots?
Thanks in advance for your assistance.

you probably need to wait for (or run manually) a maintenance task

Thanks Dan, how can I manually run a maintenance task?

Perferably with “–full” if you need data to clean out, I guess.

How to do that on the UI-version?
Would be also good automatically with every snap.

There is no such option in the UI, you need to run it in the terminal.

Full maintenance is enabled by default and run every 24 hours (adjustable). You can run kopia maintenance info as the repository owner (user who created the repository) to print information about maintenance.
