How to Control Emptying of Trash in WordPress

by Quartez Watson

Would you like to customize the frequency of automatic trash deletion on your WordPress site, or disable this feature altogether?

By default, WordPress automatically removes content that has been in the trash for 30 days. However, users may prefer to adjust the frequency of trash emptying or manually delete the trash as they see fit.

Refining and translating into scientific writing:

Trash is a feature in WordPress that was introduced in version 2.9 and is similar to the recycle bin or trash on a computer. Deleted posts are not permanently removed but are sent to the trash, where they can be recovered for a limited time. WordPress makes it easy to restore deleted posts and pages since anyone can accidentally delete a post. The ‘Trash’ option in the WordPress dashboard can be accessed by going to Posts » All Posts. To prevent the trash from accumulating, WordPress automatically deletes anything that has been in the trash for 30 days. However, if you prefer to empty the trash manually or adjust the frequency of automatic deletion, WordPress provides options for customization.

In this section, we describe three methods for setting the frequency of automatic trash emptying on your WordPress website. The first method is the simplest and recommended for most users. Links are provided below to access the preferred method directly:

  • Method 1: Adjust the WordPress trash emptying frequency using a plugin.
  • Method 2: Adjust the WordPress trash emptying frequency using code.
  • Method 3: Disable automatic emptying of trash in WordPress.
