Set Retention Policy for items in the Recycle Bin

[jesperbrasmussen (Jesper Rasmussen)]

Hi

I would like items to be deleted from the content recycle bin and the media recycle bin after a certain amount of time.
Is it possible to set a retention policy for the items in the content recycle bin and the media recycle bin?

Thanks!

Hi!

I don’t believe Umbraco provides such functionality without needing to write code.
As far as I know you need to write a IRecurringBackgroundJob.

Hope this helps
