Trash Purge all across spaces

[Deleted user]

We're running v 5.0.7. I'm attempting to do some disk space recovery. I know under Space Admin I can go into each Space and purge trash, however, is there a way to do this from a global level?

You could...

* Install the Script Runner for Confluence
* Go to Admin -> Script Console

then paste in and run the following script:

package com.onresolve.confluence.scripts

import com.atlassian.confluence.pages.TrashManager
import com.atlassian.confluence.spaces.SpaceManager
import com.atlassian.confluence.spaces.SpacesQuery
import com.atlassian.confluence.user.AuthenticatedUserThreadLocal
import com.atlassian.spring.container.ContainerManager
import org.apache.log4j.Logger

def log = Logger.getLogger("com.onresolve.confluence.scripting.EmptyTrashAllSpaces")

def trashManager = ContainerManager.getComponent("trashManager") as TrashManager
def spaceManager = ContainerManager.getComponent("spaceManager") as SpaceManager

def spacesQuery = SpacesQuery.newQuery().forUser(AuthenticatedUserThreadLocal.getUser()).build()
def allSpaces = spaceManager.getAllSpaces(spacesQuery)
allSpaces.each {space ->
    log.warn("Empty trash from space: ${space.name}")
    trashManager.emptyTrash(space)
}

"Emptied trash from ${allSpaces.size()} spaces."

This is probably well worth doing periodically actually... I ran it on a copy of one of my production instances, and got back a lot of space in the database.

It can take a while... tail the log to see progress.

I'll be looking into using this! I think it really should be part of base functionality.

This solution doesn't work as of confluence 5.9.1 since script Runner for Confluence is no longer available or working.

Just found that out as well. @Jamie Echlin (Adaptavist), do you know an alternative for Script Runner on Confluence or plan to deliver this from Adaptavist in the future?

[Mark McCormack (Adaptavist)]

Hi,

We've been working on ScriptRunner for Confluence this year and we are aiming to have a release ready for Atlascamp (so about 5 weeks) all going well.

Feel free to email scriptrunner@adaptavist.com if you want more information, I can add you to a distribution list.

regards,

Mark.

Hi all, 

How can I use it in confluence 4.2.3 version ? Would it be possible to give suggestion about how to clean trash automatically? Thanks a lot.

Hi Denise,

I didn't found a way to do this with the current version of confluence, so I have created a feature request for you:

https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONF-30043

I recommend to vote and watch it to increase the chance to be implemented. I hope this helps!

Regards,

Rodrigo
