Abstract
Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method, an electronic device, and a computer program product for deleting backup data. The method includes determining a set of non-backup time periods for an object based on a set of backup time periods for the object. The method further includes selecting a subset of non-backup time periods from the set of non-backup time periods on the basis of a time length. The method further includes deleting backup data of the object in the subset of non-backup time periods. By the embodiments of the present disclosure, a suitable time period can be selected, and unnecessary backup data is effectively deleted from the selected time period, thus improving the success rate of deletion of backup data.
