NAME

       megatools rm - Remove files and folders from your Mega.nz account

SYNOPSIS

              megatools rm <remotepaths>...
              megatools rm /Contacts/<contactemail>

DESCRIPTION

       Removes files and folders from your Mega.nz account.

       NOTE: This command removes folders recursively without asking. Be careful.

       As  a special case, by removing a folder under /Contacts, you’re removing a <contactemail>
       from your contacts list.

OPTIONS

       -u <email> , --username <email>
              Account username (email)

       -p <password> , --password <password>
              Account password

       --no-ask-password
              Never ask interactively for a password

       --reload
              Reload filesystem cache

       --limit-speed <speed>
              Set maximum allowed upload and download speed  in  KiB/s.   This  option  overrides
              config  file  settings. 0 means no limit.  When using ParallelTransfers > 1, upload
              speed limit is applied to each transfer individually.

       --proxy <proxy>
              Use proxy server to connect to mega.nz. This option overrides config file settings.
              More     information     can    be    found    in    libcurl    documentation    at
              ⟨https://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/CURLOPT_PROXY.html⟩.  Some acceptable values are:

              • none : Disable proxy if it was enabled in the config file.

              • socks5://localhost:9050 : Local SOCKSv5 proxy server

              • socks5h://localhost:9050 : Local SOCKSv5 proxy server with  DNS  handled  by  the
                proxy

       --netif <ifname|ip>
              Network  interface  or local IP address used for outgoing connections.  You have to
              specify IP address bound to some of your local network interfaces, when  specifying
              an IP address.

       --ip-proto <proto>
              Which  IP  protocol to prefer when connecting to mega.nz (v4, v6, or any).  This is
              just an advisory option.  Megatools will resolve mega.nz domain, and then use an  A
              or AAAA record based on the stated preference.

       --config <path>
              Load configuration from a file

       --ignore-config-file
              Disable loading .megarc

       --debug [<options>]
              Enable  debugging  of  various  aspects  of the megatools operation. You may enable
              multiple debugging options separated by commas. (eg. --debug api,fs)

              Available options are:

              • http: Dump HTTP request/response details (can be used to  debug  connection/proxy
                issues)

              • api: Dump Mega.nz API calls

              • fs: Dump Mega.nz filesystem (may require --reload to actually print something)

              • cache: Dump cache contents

              • tman: Dump transfer manager events

       --version
              Show version information

       <remotepaths>
              One or more remote files or directories to remove.

       <contactemail>
              Valid email address of a contact you want to remove.

EXAMPLES

       • Remove a folder:

         $ megatools ls /Root
         /Root
         /Root/MyNewFolder
         $ megatools rm /Root/MyNewFolder
         $ megatools ls /Root
         /Root

       • Remove contact from your contacts list:

         $ megatools rm /Contacts/some@email.com

REMOTE FILESYSTEM

       Mega.nz  filesystem  is  represented  as  a  tree  of  nodes  of  various types. Nodes are
       identified by a 8 character node handles (eg. 7Fdi3ZjC). Structure of  the  filesystem  is
       not encrypted.

       Megatools   maps   node   tree   structure   to   a   traditional  filesystem  paths  (eg.
       /Root/SomeFile.DAT).

       NOTE: By the nature of Mega.nz storage, several files in the directory can have  the  same
       name.  To  allow  access  to  such  files,  the names of conflicting files are extended by
       appending dot and their node handle like this:

       /Root/conflictingfile
       /Root/conflictingfile.7Fdi3ZjC
       /Root/conflictingfile.mEU23aSD

       You need to be aware of several special folders:

       /Root  Writable directory representing the root of the filesystem.

       /Trash Trash directory where Mega.nz web client moves deleted files. This directory is not
              used by megatools when removing files.

       /Inbox Not sure.

       /Contacts
              Directory containing subdirectories representing your contacts list. If you want to
              add contacts to the list, simply create subdirectory named after  the  contact  you
              want to add.

       /Contacts/<email>
              Directories   representing   individual  contacts  in  your  contacts  list.  These
              directories contain folders that others shared with you. All shared files are read-
              only, at the moment.
