> Ah, that makes sense, thank you for clarifying. > > If you don't need to keep deleted documents, as you never replicate, you can use the [purge](https://docs.couchdb.org/en/stable/api/database/misc.html) endpoint. The main downside to keeping them is the disk space they will continue to occupy. This is quite small (assuming you used the DELETE method which also empties the document body) but it is not zero. > > Alternative strategies; > > 1. if your data is temporal/time-based, you could make a database for distinct time periods (say, monthly), and when your oldest database contains only deleted documents you simply delete the entire database. > 2. periodically replicate the database to a new database but with a filter that rejects deleted documents, then switch usage to the new database.
