Script to empty recycle bin

[Elizabeth Dixon]

Hello everyone,  does anyone know of a script that will empty the recycle bin on an iPad?

On Android we simply select Recycle bin and tap on button to delete all entries.

On Desktop we tap on first entry and use the shift abd the down arrow key to highlight then delete all entries from recycle bin.

Unfortunately,  on the iPad neither off those options are available.  One must select one entry at a time.  I am testing out an iPad and deleted 85 entries to the recycle bin and now have to select each entry one at a time to highlight and then delete.  I don't have the keyboard.  (Stuck somewhere with Canada Post) And the option to go to the library settings and delete entries is also not available on the iPad.

Any suggestions for a script?  Is it even possible?

Hallo Beth

Wenn das einmalig ist , würde ich die Bibliothek auf ein Android Gerät spielen und da löschen . Man kann auf Android auch mehrere Einträge auswählen . Ein länger Antippen und dan auf die Anderen Tippen .

Hello Beth
If this is a one-off, I would transfer the library to an Android device and delete it there. You can also select multiple entries on Android. Long tap and then tap on the others.

Unfortunately it's for someone who doesn't have Android.  They use iPhones and iPads.  I will ask if they can do it on their iPhone.

Couldn't you empty the library of entries by using the Copy Structure command and then rename libraries as desired?

Hi Ernst, it's for an iPad.  Unfortunately,  unlike the Android version in which you simply select the "Empty Trash" option you have to "Select All", then touch and hold the first entry and drag your finger down to highlight the rest of the entries.  If you have 100 entries it means repeating the highlight process 4 or 5 times.   Then you tap on recycle bin.  So not an efficient process.

PS...it's for someone who only uses iPhone and iPad versions.
