Manage deleted items - Out of memory

[luca]

Hi all,
I'm using alfresco 3.0 and I'm getting out of memory Exception when I try to delete many items using Manage deleted items from the profile of the administrator user.

I have 7.37GB of items to delete, I never checked it, and I want to clean this garbage. I succesfully deleted the items of the last 7 days, about 20 documents, but if I delete more than 20 documents I get that error.

Does anybody have any idea?
Is there any other way to clean deleted items? For example Web service or through some code inside alfresco?

I succesfully clean deleted items during the week end, when we have less traffic on the portal.

I don't know why, but it seems me that clean deleted items is an operation that consume a lot of memory like Full Reindex.

I'm trying to build a scheduled job to clean deleted items, anybody has already developed it?

I deleted all items, but in the contentstore.deleted there is about 4.9 GB of items in it, is it correct?
Do I have to wait som ejob that purge them?

Probably best to grab the sources and make sure it is up to date.
