## Synopsis
Use cobra autogenerated docs * put the most up to date docs into the code * generate command docs using rclone gendocs * put command docs into own directory * remake them into MANUAL.md

Version v1.59.0
2022-07-10 01:08:20 +08:00
Remove the files in path. Unlike [purge](/commands/rclone_purge/) it
obeys include/exclude filters so can be used to selectively delete files.

Version v1.54.0
2021-02-02 21:42:35 +08:00
`rclone delete` only deletes files but leaves the directory structure
Version v1.45
2018-11-24 21:44:25 +08:00
alone. If you want to delete a directory and all of its contents use
Version v1.59.0
2022-07-10 01:08:20 +08:00
the [purge](/commands/rclone_purge/) command.
Version v1.45

Version v1.54.0
2021-02-02 21:42:35 +08:00
If you supply the `--rmdirs` flag, it will remove all empty directories along with it.
Version v1.59.0
2022-07-10 01:08:20 +08:00
You can also use the separate command [rmdir](/commands/rclone_rmdir/) or
[rmdirs](/commands/rclone_rmdirs/) to delete empty directories only.

make commanddocs for v1.56 (#5383)
2021-06-08 23:57:04 +08:00
For example, to delete all files bigger than 100 MiB, you may first want to
check what would be deleted (use either):
Use cobra autogenerated docs * put the most up to date docs into the code * generate command docs using rclone gendocs * put command docs into own directory * remake them into MANUAL.md
2016-08-04 04:36:28 +08:00
rclone --min-size 100M lsl remote:path
rclone --dry-run --min-size 100M delete remote:path
Version v1.54.0
2021-02-02 21:42:35 +08:00
Then proceed with the actual delete:
Use cobra autogenerated docs * put the most up to date docs into the code * generate command docs using rclone gendocs * put command docs into own directory * remake them into MANUAL.md
2016-08-04 04:36:28 +08:00
rclone --min-size 100M delete remote:path
Use binary prefixes for size and rate units Includes adding support for additional size input suffix Mi and MiB, treated equivalent to M. Extends binary suffix output with letter i, e.g. Ki and Mi. Centralizes creation of bit/byte unit strings.
2021-03-03 03:11:57 +08:00
That reads "delete everything with a minimum size of 100 MiB", hence
make commanddocs for v1.56 (#5383)
2021-06-08 23:57:04 +08:00
delete all files bigger than 100 MiB.

Version v1.53.0
2020-09-02 23:59:04 +08:00
**Important**: Since this can cause data loss, test first with the
`--dry-run` or the `--interactive`/`-i` flag.

docs: add a new page with global flags and link to it from the command docs In f544234 we removed the global flags from each command as it was making each page very big and causing 1000s of lines of duplication in the man page. This change adds a new flags page with all the global flags on and links each command page to it. Fixes #3273
2019-06-20 23:18:02 +08:00
See the [global flags page](/flags/) for global options not listed here.
