By accident I ended up deleting two big folders from google with lots of subfolders.
My trash is full of very old and useless stuff, and using the web ui to restore it isn't working very well.
Is there a way to use rclone to either restore files deleted in the last 24 hours or so, or to delete everything trashed from longer than 1 day?
I'm using google drive
If you use this you should see those directories with their original structure. You can then move them back.
--drive-trashed-only
Rclone lsf --drive-trashed-only
Will help list them out as well.
Move them back how exactly?
It seems the web interface just glitched, but files are being deleted, and then restored lol.
However I made a mount like this:
rclone mount gdrive: trash --drive-use-trash=false --drive-trashed-only
So I could see what stuff I could safely delete to clean the web ui... but rclone purge doesn't seem to work, delete only delete the files, and rmdir doesn't delete folders too.
Would be nice to have a way to do such things on the trash with trashed age, or just run purge on trashed folders
I never use the trash but I thought you could just
Rclone move --drive-trashed-only drive:folder1 drive:/restored/ --dry-run
Makes sense. Well I'll wait a few hours to see what googles decides to do with the files...
But if there is a way to delete specific folders from the trash with rclone I'd like to know
I found a way to filter only deleted folders from the web interface:
Search by just this -s is:trashed and then use the arrow down, to select only the teamdrive, or my drive.
That way you can see and delete entire trashed folders
