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 command if you want to selectively delete files. To delete empty directories only, use command rmdir or 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.
