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.
