+Removing all snapshots
+======================
+
 For safety reasons, restic refuses to act on an "empty" policy. For example,
 if one were to specify ``--keep-last 0`` to forget *all* snapshots in the
 repository, restic will respond that no snapshots will be removed. To delete
 all snapshots, use ``--keep-last 1`` and then finally remove the last snapshot
 manually (by passing the ID to ``forget``).
 
+Since restic 0.17.0, it is possible to delete all snapshots for a specific
+host, tag or path using the ``--unsafe-allow-remove-all`` option. The option
+must always be combined with a snapshot filter (by host, path or tag).
+For example the command ``forget --tag example --unsafe-allow-remove-all``
+removes all snapshots with tag ``example``.
