Maybe I'm just not knowing where to find these settings, but...
Since the Recycle Bin is in the Dashboard and is not a separate module with settings, is there a way I can set a limit for how old to keep entries, or how many items to keep?
I'd like to be able to adjust how much stuff is held in the recycle bin.

Rather than keeping a huge amount of 1200 items at any given time, I'd rather keep like the past 3 weeks or so of stuff and set it to dump out the older stuff automatically. I don't like that if I want to reduce the older stuff, my only option is to delete EVERYTHING.

Can we get any control over the setting?- some options EITHER for the length of time stuff is held in the RB, OR for the amount of data the bin will keep before it starts deleting older stuff?... whichever is easier to add for us?
I think the original RB limits were set by you Jamroom fellows when you created the RB for us. I'm not sure if I simply have forgotten where these options are for me, or that the options were never there.
Thanks!

Hi Strumelia
You can set the number of days items are kept in the recycle bin -

ACP=>Core=>System Core=>Global Config=>Recycle Bin tab

Set the days there.
Hope this helps

Ah! There it is! Thanks Paul, I was looking for something but couldn't find a setting anywhere.

Problem solved! I set it for 14 days instead of 21..which I must have set way back when you first gave us the recycle bin. It's a great feature to have. :)
