title: How to purge CouchDB documents
body: <p>I need to fully delete, as in Purge, several documents from CouchDB version 2.1.</p>
  
  <p>I have been reading about /db/_purge on docs.couchdb.org, but the process is not clear to me.  There is a sentence "<strong><em>The format of the request must include the document ID and one or more revisions that must be purged</em></strong>".</p>
  
  <p>How do I do this in Postman or in a browser?  Do I actually enclose my doc _id &amp; rev(s) in braces?  I am struggling with how to correctly format a _purge request.</p>
