# rclone purge
|
|
|
|
Remove the path and all of its contents.
|
|
|
|
## Synopsis
|
|
|
|
Remove the path and all of its contents. Note that this does not obey
|
|
include/exclude filters - everything will be removed. Use the
|
|
[delete](/commands/rclone_delete/) command if you want to selectively
|
|
delete files. To delete empty directories only, use command
|
|
[rmdir](/commands/rclone_rmdir/) or [rmdirs](/commands/rclone_rmdirs/).
|
|
|
|
The concurrency of this operation is controlled by the `--checkers` global flag.
|
|
However, some backends will implement this command directly, in which
|
|
case `--checkers` will be ignored.
|
|
|
|
**Important**: Since this can cause data loss, test first with the
|
|
`--dry-run` or the `--interactive`/`-i` flag.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
rclone purge remote:path [flags]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
