Empty Google Drive Trash

Howto Guides

i assume that you created your own id, not using the shared id.

In other words, regardless of this prompt, after the command is executed, the trash can is emptied.

i am not a gdrive expert.

you would have to read the log to see if the command completed or not.
i think it should complete.

rclone sees the message from google and increases the sleep period.
then rclone reduces the sleep period back to zero.

are you using your own client id?

thank you for your reply，This is where I am confused. No matter if I use my own ID or a public ID, 403 will appear, and note that it is a 403 that is constantly scrolling across the screen

403s are normal if you are hitting more than 10 API hits per second. It's Google API telling you to slow down, which is fine.

You'd have to post the whole log to see if there is an issue.

Exactly. It uses a filter (optional) to limit which remotes are cleaned. e.g. say you have 3 remotes

my_movies, my_tv: and photos:

  • ./cleanremotes my would clean both my_tv: and my_movies:
  • ./cleanremotes tv would only clean my_tv:
  • ./cleanremotes alone will clean all remotes in your rclone config

cgking, if you want to reduce the messages run ./cleanremotes tv -q ... the -q flag will limit messages to only critical ones.
