A customizable "Empty trash" mechanism which would automatically purge from each space trash all deleted files whose deletion is dated before a customizable time range value. The frequence of the purge could also be customizable.
The function would be customized through the following interfaces:
- a site admin interface where site-wide defaults are defined (with "Never purge" as a possible choice)
- a space admin interface where site-wide defaults can be overridden by local values
Advantages of regularly purging deleted pages through such a mechanism would include:
- releasing unneeded data and database space
- preventing side effects and problems, such as the one documented in Page cannot be moved between spaces due to existing duplicate in trash
- eliminating the time-consuming (and needless) chore for admins to manually sort and purge deleted files
- by-passing a limitation of the present "Trash" listing, where there is no "Deleted on" column on which a selective purge could be based
