Protected Unlimited Trash Bin

Is there some way to prevent users from emptying trash bin and set the trash bin to unlimited?

2

Adding

'trashbin_retention_obligation' => 'disabled',

to your config.php enables removed files to stay in trashbin for unlimited time: Config.php Parameters — Nextcloud 12 Server Administration Manual 12 documentation

But I have no idea if it is possible to prevent/forbid users to delete files from their own trashbin.

Thank you for this.

How about moving stuff to another place once they empty the trash bin? Out of users sight?

Also, as far as I understand, if I set the storage quota to unlimited, they also have unlimited trash bin, so nothing gets automatically cleaned?

Nobody can confirm this?

only if the place is not needed, so i am really confident, that it is dependent on your physical disk space rather than the quota set. Read:

https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/12/admin_manual/configuration_server/config_sample_php_parameters.html?highlight=trashbin_retention_obligation

carefully.

Also: More information means greater likleyhood of reasonable answers, just fyi.
