+ Purging Temporary Data
+========================
+
+.. deprecated:: 0.52
+
+When you delete objects (and buckets/containers), the Gateway marks the data
+for removal, but it is still available to users until it is purged. Since data
+still resides in storage until it is purged, it may take up available storage
+space. To ensure that data marked for deletion isn't taking up a significant
+amount of storage space, you should run the following command periodically::
+
+ radosgw-admin temp remove
+
+.. important:: Data marked for deletion may still be read. So consider
+ executing the foregoing command a reasonable interval after data
+ was marked for deletion.
+.. tip:: Consider setting up a ``cron`` job to purge data.
