hg purge [OPTION]... [DIR]...
Delete files not known to Mercurial. This is useful to test local and uncommitted changes in an otherwise-clean source tree.
This means that purge will delete the following by default:
But it will leave untouched:
The --files and --dirs options can be used to direct purge to delete only files, only directories, or both. If neither option is given, both will be deleted.
If directories are given on the command line, only files in these directories are considered.
Be careful with purge, as you could irreversibly delete some files you forgot to add to the repository. If you only want to print the list of files that this program would delete, use the --print option.
