Use ScriptRunner to purge trash over X days old

[Doug]

Is it possible to create a Confluence ScriptRunner script/job to purge items in space trash that have been there over X amount of days? Looking for an automated way to clean up spaces every 90 days or so to reduce storage. Thanks

Hi Doug,

We do have a built-in script 'Bulk Purge Trash' which purges the trash of a specific space, or all spaces. Built-in scripts require manually running, however.

To run custom scripts on a schedule, we have the Script Job feature, which you can read more about in the documentation:

https://scriptrunner.adaptavist.com/latest/confluence/ScriptJobs.html

This involves defining a CRON expression which specifies how often the script should run. Additionally, there are example expressions within the Script Job page on the app itself.

I hope this is useful to you, please let me know if you have any further questions!

Kind regards,
Tony

Is that "Bulk Purge Trash" removed in latest plugin version as I cannot find it ?

Managed to create automated script which is running regularly.

It would be great, if you could post your script. I've searched the whole internet ;) and cannot find a solution or a script.

Could you?
