Hi everyone,
This is Charlie from the Confluence team. I'm pleased to let you know that support for automatically removing trashed pages was previously shipped in Confluence Server and Data Center version 7.16 as a part of the retention rules feature. It looks like we missed updating this ticket at the time - better late than never!
You can set a retention rule for:
- historical page versions (pages only, you can't set a retention rule for blog posts)
- historical attachment versions, and
- items in the trash.

It would be great if a user can configure settings to allow for removal of trashed pages after a certain point. i.e. purge all deleted content in the trash that is more than a week old.
This is presently not possible due to the lack of information regarding deleted objects stored in the database.

[CONFSERVER-7905] Enable removal of trashed pages at certain point
Not sure how this can be In Progress but Unassigned - is this really being worked on finally?
Wow - 13 years on and still "gathering interest"
+1 on all the previous suggestions if that helps in any way at all. I'd just like a purge button that works when the trash amount is large.

added a comment - The original description suggests that a user should have the feature to schedule purges. I'd like to add my support for this, but suggest also that it would be great if a Confluence Administrator could initiate a purge of all wiki spaces on a scheduled basis.

If we could solve this issue it would be really beneficial to our company. As I try to maintain the stats, trash, and all for about 250 employees and 20-25 global spaces. Would be nice to do it with a touch of a button!

Confluence seems to have a problem where a huge amount of space is wasted due to trashed pages.
We believe that because of this problem, we are having severe performance problems with our server.
we strongly request to solve this issue!!
