What is the problem you are having with rclone?
rclone delete bak: --drive-use-trash=false --drive-trashed-only used to work nicely. Now it deletes files in the trash correctly, but hangs forever (have let the process run for 12-24 hours and it does not terminate).
What is your rclone version (output from rclone version)
v1.53.0-beta.4718.7dcbebf9b
Which OS you are using and how many bits (eg Windows 7, 64 bit)
Ubuntu 18.04
Which cloud storage system are you using? (eg Google Drive)

It appears to be waiting for deletions to finish, but is getting no signal from Google. Check in the UI and with rclone ls and there are no files remaining in trash.
NOTE: From many prior discussions I am aware that rclone cleanup bak: is intended to clean trash. It works sometimes, but other times does nothing for a few days. The above commands have been a reasonable alternative for the last few years. Just recently it has been hanging.
