# delete_backup

Source: https://modulify.ai/docs/mcp/backups/delete-backup

Permanently deletes one backup of a site, removing a restore point you may be relying on.

- Title: Delete a site backup
- Scope: `sites:delete`
- Access: Destructive

The snapshot and its stored content are destroyed and cannot be recovered, while the site itself is untouched. The tool tells the client to confirm with you first, and never to delete backups to save space on its own initiative.

## Inputs

| Input | Type | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `projectId` | string | Yes | The site the backup belongs to. |
| `backupId` | string | Yes | The backup to delete, from `list_backups`. Either its `_id` or its `BackupId` works. |
