Use the backup ID to delete the backup:
```
dcos backup delete backup-1-fd4bdc87-889c-48c3-a656-9f8e96474b27
```
The backup will be deleted but there will be no confirmation output.

However, if you run dcos backup list again, you will not see the backup listed, which indicates that it has been removed.
