The issue you are facing:
Trashbin ist not being emptied e.g. after 8 days.
Setting is: trashbin_retention_obligation’ => ‘7, 8’,
Is this the first time you’ve seen this error? (Y/N): N
Steps to replicate it:
- group folders are used
- a retention policy moves the files to the trashbin. this works great
- Items in trashbin are now 11 days old, but the trashbin policy in the config.php ist set to min age 7 and max age 8
