Yes, you can delete automatic backups in Webflow to free up space on your project. However, it's important to note that automatic backups are an essential feature to protect your work and ensure you have a restore point in case something goes wrong. Deleting all backups might not be the best approach unless you have alternative backup methods in place.
That being said, if you still want to proceed with deleting backups, here's how you can do it:
1. Access your Webflow Dashboard and open the project for which you want to delete backups.
2. In the top navigation bar, click on the "Settings" tab.
3. In the left sidebar, select "Backups."
4. All your existing backups will be listed on this page. By default, Webflow retains the five most recent backups. You will see options to download, restore, or delete each backup.
5. To delete a specific backup, click on the "Delete" button next to it.
6. A confirmation dialog will appear, asking you to confirm the deletion. Note that this action is irreversible, so double-check before proceeding.
7. Once you confirm the deletion, the backup will be permanently removed from your project, freeing up space.
Remember, manually deleting backups removes your ability to restore to a point prior to the deletion. It's also important to consider the importance of having multiple backups in case something unexpected happens to your project or website data. If storage space is a concern, you could adjust your backup frequency or explore other backup solutions outside of Webflow.
