    Unable to empty Recycle Bin in 6.4.2

    Hi,

    I'm having issues emptying the recycle bin of nodes in Umbraco 6.4.2. The recycle bin has a few thousand (!) nodes in it, but they really do need to go.... 

    Error is:

    {"Message":"There was an error processing the request.","StackTrace":"","ExceptionType":""}

    Is there a SQL script fix? Or should I log as a bug.

    Cheers,

    Paul

    Hi Paul

    Sounds like a bug - But not sure what the use would be to report it for 6.2.4/6.2.5 since the version 6 branch is no longer being actively developed unless security issues arise there will not be more releases of 6.2.x.

    Perhaps this could work for you? http://www.spyriadis.net/2012/06/umbraco-fix-empty-recycle-bin-using-sql-if-backend-fails/

    But make sure to make a backup before running the script - Just in case something does not turn out as expected.

    Hope this helps.

    /Jan

    Hi Jan,

    Thanks for the update. We're looking at U7 but haven't quite made the leap yet!

    I'll give the SQL script a whirl on our Staging environment and take it from there.

    Cheers,

    Paul

    I had well over a thousand nodes in my Recycle Bin and the emptying wasn't working.

    I found that if I selected one node and deleted it and then tried a full empty again it worked.
