What is the problem you are having with rclone?
rclone is not deleting the versions and delete markers. The backend is using IDrive E2 which is S3 compliant storage.
It has server side encryption enabled and also versioning enabled. The issue that I am facing is that when I delete files using
delete/purge command, it shows files are deleted, however their versions and delete markets are present.
When I delete the folder manually from the IDRive UI, they delete objects, versions and delete markets. How can I instruct rclone to
delete all the object, versions and markers within a folder when removing a folder? I also tried "cleanup" command and it doesn't work as expected
Run the command 'rclone version' and share the full output of the command.

Which cloud storage system are you using? (eg Google Drive)
Idrive E2
The command you were trying to run (eg rclone copy /tmp remote:tmp)
rclone --rmdirs --progress --config=rclone.conf delete bucketname:/files/Projects/
