Description
Should ideally take in a reference to a Tuf struct and then use that to identify which metadata and targets are trusted or not. If something isn't trusted, purge it. Perhaps with a signature like this.
fn clean(&mut self, tuf: &Tuf) -> Result<()>

Research direction
Start by locating the Repository and Tuf definitions and reviewing how metadata and targets are represented and trusted. Define the purge behavior for untrusted content and confirm the proposed clean(&mut self, tuf: &Tuf) -> Result<()> interface; done means Repository removes all metadata and targets not trusted by Tuf.
