Old pages in Confluence

[Daniil Mazurin]

How I can delete 10000 pages and notes (older than 01.01.2019) in Confluence space and how I can do it quick?

Unless you want to write you own scripts to do this via the API, maybe try an app from the marketplace like ScriptRunner for Confluence, Better Content Archiving for Confluence, or Confluence Command Line Interface (CLI).

Hi @Daniil Mazurin ,

As @James Dellow mentioned, one of the solutions is Better Content Archiving for Confluence, that you not only can use to delete those pages as a one-time action, but set up a rule to manage your Confluence content smarter with lifecycle rules, avoiding the accumulation of 10000 outdated pages.

If you are interested, in a recent Atlassian blog I went into more details about lifecycle rules and how to use them.
