# 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/).
**Important**: Since this can cause data loss, test first with the
`--dry-run` or the `--interactive`/`-i` flag.
```
rclone purge remote:path [flags]
```
## Options
```
-h, --help help for purge
```
See the [global flags page](/flags/) for global options not listed here.
