# Delete funkwhale objects that don't have a Musicbrainz id

```{warning}
This action **does not** send a notification to your users before content is removed. You may want to warm them before.
```

```{warning}
Running `prune_non_mbid_content` with the `--no-dry-run` flag is irreversible. Make sure you [back up your data](../upgrade/backup.md).
