And Again, the [link to the older answer](https://serverfault.com/questions/747544/what-is-the-safest-way-to-delete-backups-in-bareos). Two quotes from it for you, I highlighted the particulars: 1) "This delete command is used to delete a Job record and all associated catalog records that were created. **This command operates only on the Catalog database and has no effect on the actual data written to a Volume**." 2) **you can't delete the data of a single job**, you can only delete the volume if all the jobs in it are eligible for deletion – Gerald Schneider Nov 14 '22 at 17:18
