# Deleting Backup Repository

You can delete a backup repository configured with Veeam Agent for Mac. When you delete a backup repository, Veeam Agent removes record on the deleted repository from its database. Backup files created by a backup job targeted at the deleted backup repository remain intact on the backup storage.

To delete a backup repository, use the following command:

```
veeamconfig repository delete --id <repository_id>
```

or

```
veeamconfig repository delete --name <repository_name>
```

where:

- `<repository_id>` — ID of the backup repository that you want to delete.
- `<repository_name`> — name of the backup repository that you want to delete.

For example:

```
$ veeamconfig repository delete --name Repository_1
```

::: note

You cannot delete a backup repository that is specified as a backup storage location in the backup job settings.
