SID-01234: How can I empty content in trash

Status:	Answered	TWiki version:	5.0.1	Perl version:

Hi, I have a problem where if I delete an attachment or a topic. I cannot delete a second attachment or topic that has exactly the same name as the previously deleted attachment/topic.

I guess it is because the first deleted item is still in trash. Is there a way I can empty the content in trash so subsequent deletions will be possible?

Thanks Osei

Discussion and Answer

Known, issue, will be fixed in TWiki-5.1, to be released in a few weeks.

Workaround 1: Login on shell level and remove the attachments in your twiki/pub/Trash/TrashAttachment

Workaround 2: Using browser, go to Trash.TrashAttachment and rename the topic to Trash.TrashAttachment2. Then recreate an empty Trash.TrashAttachment topic.
