Deleted or not? 30 days, 360 days or ???

The whole process of deleting an item is both confusing and inconstant. In other words it's a mess.

On the Mac if I delete something it goes into deleted items where it seems to be stuck for 30 days - there is no obvious way for me to permanently delete the item. At the very least I need an option to empty deleted items - ALL of them, ALL at once.

Given I can't permanently delete them from my mac, I go to the web and log in - here I find something different - I have items in Deleted which have been hanging around for up to 360 days!

But I guess I should be thankful because here at least I can permanently delete them one at a time!

It's time to invest your time and sort Deleted items out. PLEASE!

    Ah, sorry, it looks like this might not be in the beta yet, just the nightly. My apologies.

    Hmm, the only option I see is Restore Item (version 8.7.0)

    Oh, 1P_PeterG reminded me that you actually can do this on Mac. Just select all the items you want to destroy, right-click, and select "Destroy permanently…".

    We'll be making that feature a bit more discoverable in a future update.

    Hey, mtissington, thanks for the feedback. I'm sorry for the frustration. This is a known issue right now, and there is work in progress to make deleted items consistent across the board.
