+# Delete local media
+This API deletes the *local* media from the disk of your own server.
+This includes any local thumbnails and copies of media downloaded from
+remote homeservers.
+This API will not affect media that has been uploaded to external
+media repositories (e.g https://github.com/turt2live/matrix-media-repo/).
+See also [purge_remote_media.rst](purge_remote_media.rst).
+
