@ -4,6 +4,8 @@ Purge History API
The purge history API allows server admins to purge historic events from their
database, reclaiming disk space.
**NB!** This will not delete local events (locally sent messages content etc) from the database, but will remove lots of the metadata about them and does dramatically reduce the on disk space usage
Depending on the amount of history being purged a call to the API may take
several minutes or longer. During this period users will not be able to
paginate further back in the room from the point being purged from.
