Deprecated: Purge room API

The old Purge room API is deprecated and will be removed in a future release. See the new Delete Room API for more details.

This API will remove all trace of a room from your database.

All local users must have left the room before it can be removed.

The API is:

POST /_synapse/admin/v1/purge_room

{
    "room_id": "!room:id"
}

You must authenticate using the access token of an admin user.
