When I update plugins (Windows), there's a checkbox to "purge the plugin database at update." When should purging be done? The word "purge" does not appear in the installation guide, client guide or advanced user pdfs.
Usually you do not need to do that. However in some cases a purge
might be necessary if the db is corrupt (ie: if you kill the update
process while it's recompiling the plugins) or if you feel like the db
is growing too large.
