git-annex-dropunused - drop unused file content

git annex dropunused [number|range ...]

Drops the data corresponding to the numbers, as listed by the last git annex unused

You can also specify ranges of numbers, such as "1-1000". Or, specify "all" to drop all unused data.

Rather than dropping the unused files from the local repository, drop them from the remote repository.
Use this option with care! It bypasses safety checks, and forces git-annex to delete the content of the specified files, even from the last repository that is storing their content. Data loss can result from using this option.
Runs multiple drop jobs in parallel. This is particularly useful when git-annex has to contact remotes to check if it can drop content. For example: -J4
Setting this to "cpus" will run one job per CPU core.
Enable JSON output. This is intended to be parsed by programs that use git-annex. Each line of output is a JSON object.
Messages that would normally be output to standard error are included in the JSON instead.
