Empty button in User Trashcan deletes only 1000 items

mbikl — Mon, 04 Aug 2025 14:12:09 GMT

Hello,

If I use the button Empty in my User Trashcan I delete only 1000 items. Is it possible to change this value? I need to delete more than 1.000.000 items.

I tried to use trashcan-cleaner.deleteBatchCount=10000, but nothing changed.

Thank you.

Martin

Hi:

The property you mention is for a defined cronjob for this task (trashcan-cleaner).

If you have a big trashcan with lots of documents, you can program the scheduled job to be run several times a day, even with a batch of 1000, until the trashcan is empty.

Regards.

Hi,

Thank you very much. One question: Is there a web service? for a calling Empty trashcan. I found only module GitHub - Alfresco/alfresco-trashcan-cleaner-module

Thanks
