## 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]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
