Hi guys, I have about 28 backups which were generated from the daily Backups configuration from withing WHM. I want to delete all the backups, how do i do that? #cd /backup/ #root@server2 [/backup]# ls -al total 28 drwx--x--x 7 root root 4096 Mar 6 03:11 ./ drwxr-xr-x 19 root root 4096 Feb 29 23:52 ../ drwx--x--x 4 root root 4096 Feb 28 02:00 2016-02-28/ drwx--x--x 4 root root 4096 Mar 1 02:00 2016-03-01/ drwx--x--x 4 root root 4096 Mar 3 02:00 2016-03-03/ drwx--x--x 4 root root 4096 Mar 5 02:00 2016-03-05/ drwx--x--x 4 root root 4096 Mar 6 02:00 2016-03-06/ But navigating to "cd /backup/cpbackup/monthly" does not work. "No such directory" WHM 54.0 Thanks

  Hello, You would do
  # rm -rf /backup/2016*
  That will delete all backups shown in your paste
