Mariabackup, How do I delete a backup

Disk is 100% full

Need to on-command delete a full or incrematal backup, heck I can't even find the option to LIST the current backups

I do know that Mariabackup can auto-delete based on age. And that its run auto-magically by MaraiDB/MySql.

I do know that if I simple delete a dated backup dir, bad things happen.

How do I tell Mariabackup to delete a backup when problems happen.

Google only puts you on either searchs for "Mariabackup delete" https://mariadb.com/kb/en/mariabackup-options/ https://mariadb.com/kb/en/full-backup-and-restore-with-mariabackup/

neither of which covers Deleting....

Hey well all hope to never use our backups, but sometimes they need to go.

No backups for a month until the oldest expires (now that the Exploding DB is fixed) seems like a bad plan
