# PurgeDatastore

This action instructs the connector to delete the datastore for a fetch task. If any `synchronize` actions are running, the connector waits for them to finish before deleting the datastore.

You might want to delete the datastore for a fetch task if you have modified the task configuration and you need to ingest all of the documents in the repository again.
