## rclone delete
Remove the contents of path.
### Synopsis
Remove the files in path. Unlike `purge` it obeys include/exclude
filters so can be used to selectively delete files.
`rclone delete` only deletes objects but leaves the directory structure
alone. If you want to delete a directory and all of its contents use
`rclone purge`
Eg delete all files bigger than 100MBytes
Check what would be deleted first (use either)
rclone --min-size 100M lsl remote:path
rclone --dry-run --min-size 100M delete remote:path
Then delete
rclone --min-size 100M delete remote:path
That reads "delete everything with a minimum size of 100 MB", hence
delete all files bigger than 100MBytes.
```
rclone delete remote:path [flags]
```
### Options
```
-h, --help help for delete
```
See the [global flags page](/flags/) for global options not listed here.
