AFAIK that is exactly how restic works. You use `restic forget` to remove the roots (snapshots), then `restic prune` garbage collects unreachable blobs.

ETA: However, nearly all data in restic is encrypted. This includes the index files. So you still need to have the encryption key to look at snapshots and walk their trees.
