How do I empty the trash?

[jammerdan]

It looks like creating folders and moving files into them is working on your node.
However deleting from the date folders seems not work.
You should check in your logs if there is some information that deletion from the trash does not work.
Did you check if you maybe happen to have nested date folders like this:

Current situation with garbage collection

Am I the only one seeing trash folders like this? Doesn’t really make sense to me: ./pmw6tvzmf2jv6giyybmmvl4o2ahqlaldsaeha4yx74n5aaaaaaaa/2024-04-13/2024-04-13/2024-04-12/36

@vladro

still a good question what to do?

According to @thepaul:

Edited to add: If the undeleted trash directories are causing problems, you can rm -rf them yourself. If the timestamp from the directory name is more than 7 days ago, this will be 100% safe to do. Obviously the node software should be doing it for you, but this is a workaround you can use until we figure out what’s wrong and fix it.
