Give Users Manual & Permanent Delete Options for Spaces & Trash
planned

Currently, deleted Spaces and Trash items linger indefinitely (I’ve seen items from 4+ months ago), which undermines data privacy and storage control.
High-impact request:
- Add a “Permanent Delete Now” button in Spaces and Trash views.
- Include confirmation prompt: “Are you sure? This cannot be undone.”
- Optionally mark auto-deleted items after 30 days, but always let users remove data immediately.
Rationale:
- Ensures privacy and reinforces Capacities’ local-first and user-centric data ownership position.
- Delay in such things can completely jeopardize companies brand image and credibility. You must act fast, later in your privacy police you must clearly state that "No user data remains on our server, after permanent delectation of spaces and trash " This privacy statement is basic and it is must in this advance time!

Merged in a post:
Items in trash are not removed after 30 days as expexted

It's basically what I said in the subject. I expected that items in the trash will be removed after 30 days, but they won't. I also voted for another feature request that, beside the automatic removal, it should be possible to empty the trash manually.

This ticket is marked as a planned on July 9, 2025, But still there is no update in the area of the attached screenshot (Trash Delete) yet!! This is must needed at any cost for privacy & security reasons. I hope you finish this update soon.

Steffen Bleher I highly appreciate your positive and proactive response.
I have suggested other minor but important standard text editing improvement which is always there in other popular word processing software, users have habit of using it, so it is necessary to be in align with all for better UX. But Beth marked 2 suggestion as closed but again in that reply I mentioned why it is necessary. Please have a look there also.
