2.4.8. Delete a Configuration Snapshot Using Management CLI

    EAP_HOME/standalone/configuration/standalone_xml_history/snapshot/20110630-165714239standalone.xml
  2. Run the :delete-snapshot command to delete a specific snapshot, specifying the name of the snapshot as in the example below.
    [standalone@localhost:9999 /] :delete-snapshot(name="20110630-165714239standalone.xml")
    {"outcome" => "success"}
    
Result

The snapshot has been deleted.

Procedure 2.17. Delete All Snapshots
