=== Trashbin Cleanup ===



As the ownCloud server administrator, you have two occ commands for permanently deleting files from the Trashbin manually, without waiting for the normal aging-out process:
<code>
trashbin
 trashbin:cleanup   Remove deleted files
 trashbin:expire    Expires the users trashbin
</code>
The trashbin:cleanup command removes the deleted files of all users, or you may specify certain users in a space-delimited list. This example removes all the deleted files of all users:
<code>
sudo -u www-data php occ trashbin:cleanup
Remove all deleted files
Remove deleted files for users on backend Database
 user1
 user2
 user3
 user4
</code>
This example removes the deleted files of user2 and user4:
<code>
sudo -u www-data php occ trashbin:cleanup user2 user4
 Remove deleted files of user2
 Remove deleted files of user4
</code>
trashbin:expire deletes only expired files according to the trashbin_retention_obligation setting in config.php. The default setting is auto, which keeps files in the Trashbin for 30 days, then deletes the oldest files as space is needed to keep users within their storage quotas. Files may not be deleted if the space is not needed.

The default is to delete expired files for all users, or you may list users in a space-delimited list:
<code>
sudo -u www-data php occ trashbin:cleanup user1 user2
 Remove deleted files of user1
 Remove deleted files of user2
</code>
