 ## Removing large deleted objects
 
-Command: `nominatim admin --clean-deleted --age <PostgreSQL Time Interval>`
+Command: `nominatim admin --clean-deleted <PostgreSQL Time Interval>`
 
 Nominatim refuses to delete very large areas because often these deletions are
 accidental and are reverted within hours. Instead the deletions are logged in
 the `import_polygon_delete` table and left to the administrator to clean up.
 
-To run this command you will need to pass a PostgreSQL time interval to the age 
-parameter. For example to delete any objects that have been deleted more than a 
-month ago you would run:
-`nominatim admin --clean-deleted --age '1 month'`
