overlane memory purge

Delete many memories at once, by scope, project or person

Updated View as MarkdownOpen in ChatGPTOpen in Claude

Removes every memory that matches the filters, with its vectors and enrichment, and keeps no content. With no filter it removes all of the team’s memory. A team-wide token deletes team data; a person’s own user memories can be deleted with –scope user and –user set to themselves. Deleting is a deletion-class action: an agent needs an independent agent’s approval. This cannot be undone. Without a terminal it needs –force.

Usage

overlane memory purge [--scope SCOPE] [--project PROJECT_ID] [--user USER_ID] [--service URL] [--team TENANT_ID] [--dry-run] [--force]

Flags

Flag Type Required Default Description
--scope one of project, team, user, global no Only memories of this scope
--project string no Only memories of this project
--user string no Only memories of this person
--service string no The service address (default: OVERLANE_SERVICE_URL, then the project’s binding, then the hosted service)
--team string no The team (tenant) to act on (default: the one your token belongs to)
--dry-run boolean no Print the requests and file changes this command would make, then stop. Needs no credentials.
--force boolean no Confirm a destructive action when there is no terminal to ask on. Without it, exit 2.

Examples

overlane memory purge --scope user --user usr_ab12 --force
overlane memory purge --project prj_1 --dry-run

Behavior

  • Effect: destructive (deletes or reverts; needs --force without a terminal).
  • Needs credentials: yes. Uses the network: yes.
  • Supports --dry-run: yes. Accepts --force: yes.
  • Machine-readable description: overlane schema memory purge.

Result

With --json (the default when stdout is not a terminal) the command prints this JSON Schema’s shape on stdout.
