try on your machine
The command "sudo btrfs subvolume delete" is used to delete a specific subvolume in a Btrfs file system.
Here is a breakdown of the command and its components:
- "sudo" - This is a command in Unix-like operating systems that allows a user to run a program with administrative or root privileges.
- "btrfs" - This is a command-line utility used for managing Btrfs file systems.
- "subvolume" - Refers to a specific subvolume within the Btrfs file system. A subvolume is similar to a folder or directory in other file systems.
- "delete" - Indicates that the subvolume mentioned in the command should be deleted.
- "${path-to-subvolume}" - This is a placeholder that should be replaced with the actual path to the subvolume you want to delete. For example, if the subvolume you want to delete is located at /home/user/subvolume, you will replace "${path-to-subvolume}" with "/home/user/subvolume".
By executing this command and providing the correct path to the subvolume, the specified subvolume will be permanently deleted from the Btrfs file system.
