How to empty smba/cifs .recycle

[Guntis]

I found this:

Code:

find /mnt/*/.Trashes/ -type f -mtime +5d -delete
find /mnt/*/.Trashes/ -type d -empty -depth -delete

find /mnt/*/.Trashes/ -type f -mtime +5d -exec rm -fv {} \;
find /mnt/*/.Trashes/ -type d \! -path "*/" -empty -depth -exec rm -frv {} \;

I think this will work for all shares if I modify it like this

Code:

find /mnt/<pool_name>/*/.recycle/ -type f -mtime +5d -delete
find /mnt/<pool_name>/*/.recycle/ -type d -empty -depth -delete

find /mnt/<pool_name>/*/.recycle/ -type f -mtime +5d -exec rm -fv {} \;
find /mnt/<pool_name>/*/.recycle/ -type d \! -path "*/" -empty -depth -exec rm -frv {} \;

there is also this:

Code:

#!/bin/bash

###
#  meant to cleaup deleted/recycled files & folders
#  they will have been kept for a while, probably 7 days
#  then cleared out with this script, run from cron/anacron
###

# Create Temp Log File
RUNON=$(date +"%F__%R")
TMPLOGFILE=$(mktemp "houseCleaning_$RUNON.XXXXXXXXX" --tmpdir=$TMPDIR)
LOGDIR=/var/log
LOGFILE=$LOGDIR/houseCleaning.log

# Find and Log files older than 7 days old
echo "finding files deleted more than 7 days ago" >> $TMPLOGFILE
find /mnt/vol0/*/.recycle/* -type f -mtime +7 >> $TMPLOGFILE
# Delete files older than 7 days
find /mnt/vol0/*/.recycle/* -type f -mtime +7 -delete

# Find and Log empty directories
echo "finding empty directories" >> $TMPLOGFILE
find /mnt/vol0/*/.recycle/* -type d -empty >> $TMPLOGFILE
# Delete empty directories
find /mnt/vol0/*/.recycle/* -type d -empty -delete

# Find and Log empty files
echo "finding empty files" >> $TMPLOGFILE
find /mnt/vol0/*/.recycle/* -type f -empty >> $TMPLOGFILE
# Delete empty files
find /mnt/vol0/*/.recycle/* -type f -empty -delete

# Update Log File
echo "Script:  $0" >> $LOGFILE
echo "Executed: $RUNON" >> $LOGFILE
cat $TMPLOGFILE >> $LOGFILE
echo "------------------" >> $LOGFILE

that is written for Ubuntu, but in comments they say that it works for freenas too.

I will report back if this works.

You know we have a "how to" on this exact issue. I know because I wrote it. In fact, that first set of code you provided looks exactly like what I wrote. ;)

Nope, but that one will work too. Mine actively searches out .recycle directories and then deletes old stuff.

it's probably just me, but i can't find it. Can you please post link here?
