# 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`.
**Important**: Since this can cause data loss, test first with the
`--dry-run` or the `--interactive`/`-i` flag.
```
