What is Trashcan Cleaner?

Trashcan Cleaner is an addon that controls the automatic delete settings for all trashcans on the Alfresco system. It gives the system administrator the ability to control the period of time that documents can be stored in the trashcan.

Why is Trashcan Cleaner so important?

  • Stay organized – users often forget trashcan maintenance
  • Save storage space – free up server space by clearing out old files
  • Company policy – regulate your company’s standards for file maintenance
  • Clean up – documents past their lifecycle can’t stick around in an overflowing trashcan

The Benefits of Trashcan Cleaner

Trashcan Cleaner frees up storage instantly, keeping usable server space available for more important jobs. The Skytizens Trashcan Cleaner addon is also a form of enhanced internal communication. By designating a company-wide trash policy, administrators ensure that documents stay up-to-date for all staff.

Director Emily knows company policy is for trashed files to get deleted every 90 days. Emily builds 10 minutes of trashcan review time into her quarterly team meeting. This encourages Emily’s department to keep their files updated throughout the year.

How Does It Work?

Trashcan Cleaner is a straightforward module to supervise how long files remain in the Alfresco trashcan. The Trashcan Cleaner addon evaluates each file individually based on the recorded time the file entered the trashcan. When the file has remained in the trashcan for the indicated timeframe, it gets permanently deleted. Administrators are responsible for setting the lifespan of files in the trashcan and communicating this policy on a company-wide basis.

Company XYZ adopted a new logo. Sarah from Accounts deleted the old logo from her files on 16 April at 3:00pm. Trashcan Cleaner is set to delete at the 30-day mark. The logo in Sarah’s trash will permanently delete on 16 May at 3:00pm.

Main Features

  1. Set the Frequency of Permanent Delete – The Administrator sets how many days to keep files in the trashcan. Skytizens suggests 90 days as a default setting.
  2. Set the Chronology of Trashcan Checks – The Administrator sets how many times per day to review the system’s trashcans and delete past-due files. Skytizens suggests setting the Trashcan Cleaner to dump files every hour, on the hour, during business hours.
  3. Control – Trashcan Cleaner is controlled by the Client’s System Administrator. Users cannot access the settings for Trashcan Cleaner. All trashcans in one system have the same Trashcan Cleaner setting.
  4. File Recovery – Users cannot recover files that have been permanently deleted by Trashcan Cleaner.
