Trashcan Cleaner has nothing to see with contentstore.deleted folder. Probably this can help to understand removing process https://github.com/keensoft/alfresco-deleted-content-store-cleaner/blob/master/README.md

You can also have a Window/Linux (window task schedule) schedule job to run once in a month to delete the contentstorre.deleted folder.

Thanks

I use a cron job to cleanup contentstore deleted - as you mention ssh, I think you are using Linux too.
First I create a file in contentstore deleted  .... stands for the path to contentstore.deleted

touch ....contentstore.deleted/lastrun        

(for my monitoring system and to prevent me from accidently deleting contentstore.deleted)

then delete all the files older than 8 days (for safety, it could be possible to have to restore from a backup)

find ....contentstore.deleted -type f -mtime +8 -delete

then delete all empty dirs there

find ...contentstore.deleted -type d -empty -delete
