How to purage a list of folder

I have a list of folder I'd like to delete. I have tried rclone purge --files-from=test.txtt but failed. Can anyone help me on this issue? Thank you.

#!/bin/bash
input="/path/to/txt/file"
while IFS= read -r line
do
  rclone purge "${line}"
done < "${input}"

assuming your file content format is:

remote:path
remote:path1
...
remote:pathN

If scripting is not your type of thing just create brute force script.

e.g. your file.txt is

remote:path
remote:path1
...
remote:pathN

use some text editor to change it to (replace beginning of every line with rclone purge ) :

rclone purge remote:path
rclone purge remote:path1
...
rclone purge remote:pathN

make it executable and run.
