trash setting question
Hi
Would it be possible to empty trash every day automatically? It can empty each 30 days, is there setting to adjust the setting? Thanks.

Create an event in Calendar and make it a reoccurring event - call it Empty Trash
Add, modify, or delete events in Calendar on Mac
Or creating a reoccurring reminder in Reminders - - call it Empty Trash
Add or change reminders on Mac

When you boot up in the morning and on your Desktop just use the key combination of Shift+Command+Delete to empty the Trash bin. Or at night when you're shutting down.
You need to be in the Finder for the key combination to work.
OR you can try this AppleScript:
on run {}
tell application "Finder"
empty the trash
end tell
end run
You can set it to run on a certain time, save the script above as an application and add it to the Login Items so it runs when you boot up in the morning.

Why would one ( you ) what to Automatically Empty the Trash on a daily basis ?
You do realize, that passing this Responsibility to an automated Script that runs each day
May delete certain items you do not what to deleted and / or realized 2 days later are actually Needed or worst still Required ?
And No, I do not think there is a Setting to Adjust the 30 day period
if you press Option + Command + Delete keys or use the File > Delete Immediately option in the Finder menu, Mac will directly delete files by skipping the Trash
If using the above keyboard combination, it all bypass the Trash altogether which I caution not to do
Hi PRP_53
Thanks, it's from customized design app, it's tmp folder is large by day. (Most of file should be usd or picture type file). I try I can use automate to delete these tmp to trash folder, but I can not empty trash folder automatically.
