How to purge the retained MQTT messages?

You purge a retained message by publishing an empty string to the topic as a retained message. It’s as simple as that.

You can do it directly from Developer tools > Services.

In the following screenshot, we are publishing an empty string (represented by two consecutive single quotes) to the topic your/topic/goes/here/ as a retained message (retain: true).
