How to delete old backups via SSH commands

[skitterlad (Vincent)]

I rebooted by pbxact and got this

[root@uc-8****** ~]# fwconsole ma listonline

The backups are hogging all the space, and i can not adjust the files via gui
I can navigate to
[root@uc-84544609 backup]# du -h | sort -h
3.9M ./Default_backup
7.0G ./Glendale
43G ./POMPs_Full_Backup
but to show the files and delete any old back ups is unknown to me.

what do i do, what commands to type. i can SSH into the device. thanks for any help you can give

Backups are probably saved in:

/var/spool/asterisk/backup

in various folders. Remove files with:

rm <filename>

[skitterlad (Vincent)]

POMPs_Full_Backup]# 43G ./POMPs_Full_Backup

I can get into that /var/spool/asterisk/backup folder, but i can’t seem to get into the ./POMPs_Full_Backup folder
are the backups in zip or bak files? how can i list those files to use the rm command?
I read this https://documentation.cpanel.net/display/CKB/How+to+Manage+your+Hard+Drive+Space
but i guess i need a more basic step by step to navigate directly to that folder to list the bak files

The back ups ate up all the disk space and wouldnt allow the device to boot.
perhaps there should be a setting to limit the storage space for back up, not only how many runs. I couldn’t delete any backup files via gui

i had to get tech support to find the commands
df -h then ll then less ./backup
to select the tz file and then the rm command, but i wasnt able to delete the tz file, so i had to delete the sub directory for the back up. not fun.
Also somehow the pbxact device was downloading 12 copies of the new update packages for the last 3 weeks, many copies. so my device was a full as can be with junk and that crashed the boot up process. thankfully asterisk worked well when the rest of the processes couldnt load because of disk space, so phone calls could go on today.
