Make purge optional when running "helmfile delete"

@@ -186,6 +186,12 @@ To supply the diff functionality Helmfile needs the [helm-diff](https://github.c
 you should be able to simply execute `helm plugin install https://github.com/databus23/helm-diff`. For more details
 please look at their [documentation](https://github.com/databus23/helm-diff#helm-diff-plugin).
 
+### delete
+
+The `helmfile delete` sub-command deletes all the releases defined in the manfiests
+
+Note that `delete` doesn't purge releases. So `helmfile delete && helmfile sync` results in sync failed due to that releases names are not deleted but preserved for future references. If you really want to remove releases for reuse, add `--purge` flag to run it like `helmfile delete --purge`.
+
 ### secrets
 
 The `secrets` parameter in a `helmfile.yaml` causes the [helm-secrets](https://github.com/futuresimple/helm-secrets) plugin to be executed to decrypt the file.
