Purges

In a general context, "purges" refer to the process of removing or eliminating undesirable elements from a system or organization. This can occur in various settings, such as politics, where leaders might remove opponents or critics, or in data management, where outdated or incorrect information is deleted to improve accuracy. Purges are often driven by the goal of strengthening the entity by removing what is considered problematic or unnecessary. While sometimes necessary for efficiency or security, they can also carry negative connotations if they involve unjust or harsh eliminations of individuals or ideas.
