How to delete backup files from server?

[jani]

Hi,

Few days ago I backed up my files on my server. I can see a zip file on the server, but now I have downloaded it and want to delete it from the server because it is present on the server and it is consuming the disk space which I don't want.

Can anyone please tell me how to remove the backup file from server?

Thanks

Can you browse to the directory to delete it? If you have permissions you should be able to.

Normally however 'I believe' servers are setup to only keep the backup for X amount of time, depends on how the server is setup.

You can always contact your host if need be to have it deleted.

Yes, I contacted the admin and he told me the way how to delete them :)

Thank you for your help.
