rclone purge

Remove the path and all of its contents.

Synopsis

Remove the path and all of its contents. Note that this does not obeyinclude/exclude filters - everything will be removed. Use thedelete command if you want to selectivelydelete files. To delete empty directories only, use commandrmdir orrmdirs.

The concurrency of this operation is controlled by the--checkers global flag. However, some backends willimplement 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.
