## [Purge Remote Media API](../../admin_api/media_admin_api.md#purge-remote-media-api)
The purge remote media API allows server admins to purge old cached remote media.
-#### Purge local media
-
-There is no purge API for local media because you may be the only one with a copy. If you are sure you want to delete local media you could use something like the following to delete media that hasn't been accessed in a while.
-
-```
-find /path/to/synapse/media_store/local_content -atime +365 -delete
-find /path/to/synapse/media_store/local_thumbnails -atime +365 -delete
-```
-
-This will delete media that hasn't been accessed in 365 days.
-
-**Warning, check noatime flag**: You also have to double-check that the filesystem where synapse's media store don't have [noatime flag](https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/219015/how-to-disable-access-time-settings-in-debian-linux/219017#219017). Check it with `mount`, `noatime` is something that is usually enabled by default to reduce read-write operations in the filesystem for a feature is not so demanded.
