+Purge Remote Media API
+======================
+
+The purge remote media API allows server admins to purge old cached remote
+media. 
+
+The API is::
+
+    POST /_matrix/client/r0/admin/purge_media_cache
+
+    {
+        "before_ts": <unix_timestamp_in_ms>
+    }
+
+Which will remove all cached media that was last accessed before
+``<unix_timestamp_in_ms>``.
+
+If the user re-requests purged remote media, synapse will re-request the media
+from the originating server.
