.SH NAME
git-annex-dropunused \- drop unused file content
.PP
.SH SYNOPSIS
git annex dropunused \fB[number|range ...]\fP
.PP
.SH DESCRIPTION
Drops the data corresponding to the numbers, as listed by the last
\fBgit annex unused\fP
.PP
You can also specify ranges of numbers, such as "1\-1000".
Or, specify "all" to drop all unused data.
.PP
.SH OPTIONS
.IP "\fB\-\-from=remote\fP"
.IP
Rather than dropping the unused files from the local repository,
drop them from the remote repository.
.IP
.IP "\fB\-\-force\fP"
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.
.IP
.IP "\fB\-\-jobs=N\fP \fB\-JN\fP"
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: \fB\-J4\fP  
.IP
Setting this to "cpus" will run one job per CPU core.
.IP
.IP "\fB\-\-json\fP"
Enable JSON output. This is intended to be parsed by programs that use
git-annex. Each line of output is a JSON object.
.IP
.IP "\fB\-\-json\-error\-messages\fP"
Messages that would normally be output to standard error are included in
the JSON instead.
.IP
.IP "Also the git-annex\-common\-options(1) can be used."
