contentstore.deleted is not cleared

[toltech]

Hello,
Though if have seen a couple of post about deleted content items, for me the exact functioning of trashing items and clearing the disk later is not entirely clear.

1) After trashing an item by a user
2) The administrator deletes the files in the admin panel permanently
3) The items become orphaned but are still kept in contentstore.deleted
4) Some mechanism now should take care of actually freeing the disk space

The last item (4) does not seem to happen, what do I need to implement to achive this?

regards,
Robert

You need to enable the content store cleaner. See http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Content_Store_Configuration#Cleaning_up_Orphaned_Content_.28Purge.29 for details.

Thanks very much!
But how do I start a clean up session?
