NAME

       restic-prune - Remove unneeded data from the repository

SYNOPSIS

       restic prune [flags]

DESCRIPTION

       The  "prune"  command  checks  the  repository and removes data that is not referenced and
       therefore not needed any more.

EXIT STATUS

       Exit status is 0 if the command was successful.  Exit status is 1 if there was any  error.
       Exit  status  is 10 if the repository does not exist.  Exit status is 11 if the repository
       is already locked.  Exit status is 12 if the password is incorrect.
