In case that user decides to safely remove all content from `output` directory, containing all target details from previous sqlmap runs, he can use switch `--purge-output`. While purging, all files from (sub)directories in folder `output` will be overwritten with random data, truncated, renamed to random names, (sub)directories will be renamed to random names too, and finally the whole directory tree will be deleted.
