+# Rough notes for draining a repo
+
+Once a release is EOL we don't need to keep around the files, but we
+do want to make it such that people are still able to rebase from
+those EOL releases. Let's remove all the RPMs from the repo for that
+release, but leave the repodata in place. Something like:
+
+```
+aws s3 rm s3://fedoraproject-updates-archive/fedora/32/ --recursive --exclude '*' --include '*rpm' --dryrun
+```
+
+After running the delete you can verify only the repodata is left with:
+
+```
+aws s3 ls s3://fedoraproject-updates-archive/fedora/32/ --recursive
+```
