There is a "purge" API but it's not really designed for day-to-day usage, but for removing problematic documents. https://docs.couchdb.org/en/stable/api/database/misc.html#db-purge The "normal" delete operation creates a new document revision, marking the document as deleted. CouchDB, as it stands today, isn't designed to completely delete documents. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
