Hi Mariusz, Sorry for the late reply -- I'm still fairly undecided about this.

If you want to keep your data (including configuration), you should use "remove" rather than "purge". OTOH, removing collected data is really annoying as well … I guess, I'll see if I can find out about "best practices" regarding that kind of issue.
