Quick way to clear the trash can

Hi there,

I have a solution that has185 pages worth of old stuff in the content trash can. Is there a way to get rid of them all? There's no Empty Trash command, so now I have to select all items on the current page, then click Empty selected items and repeat that 184 more times ;-( And then multiply that by even more as I have a few copes of the site with the same data. Is there an easier way? Would an "Empty trash" command make sense?

You should be able to select many using the checkbox on top of the list and delete those...: https://doc.dynamicweb.com/documentation-9/content/tools/recycle-bin

That would at least give you 25 for each click (just changed the page size to 100). I cannot remember why the empty bin option was removed...

That's what I used already. But I have 185 *pages* worth of data, not items ;-)

I just cleared the |RecycleBin table in the database. That seems to work also....
