Task Plugin ID: plg_task_deltrash
Automate the "Empty Trash" process via the Joomla Task Scheduler for a cleaner, faster database.
Efficiency Benefits
Automatic Cleanup
Instead of manually emptying the trash, let the scheduler handle it automatically.
Database Performance
Keep your database light and fast by removing obsolete trashed items regularly.
Configuration
1 Navigate to System > Scheduled Tasks in your Joomla admin panel.
2 Click New and select the "Delete Trashed" task type.
3 Set the task to run once per day (recommended).
