Empty Recycle Bin using java script

Introduction:

With SharePoint User level recycle bin(that is displayed in Quick Launch), there is no way to ‘Empty’ the recycle bin in a single go. We have this option in Site Collection Recycle Bin. May be this is done deliberately to prevent users from deleting all items by accident! This is definitely a fallback from developers perspective.

Description:

A way to Empty  the recycle bin without going through the pain of manually deleting each of the files or selecting the files and clicking on the ‘Delete Items’ button.

·         Open your SharePoint Recycle Bin Page by clicking on the Recycle Bin icon on the Quick Launch.

·         Simply copy the below JavaScript statement into the address bar and click Enter.

javascript:emptyItems();

Note: 

Be careful as all of the items will not be to sent to Site Collection Recycle Bin. This a good tip for development phase.
