I have several site collections and on one particular site collection, I am unable to empty the Site Collection Recycle Bin. At first, I thought it was a server issue, but all of my other site collections still work.
How issue started:
I have another system that publishes a "data book" to a document library each night. When the system publishes its new data book, it deletes the old version, about 130MB a night; putting it into the end user recycle bin. (i wish there was a way to bypass so it did not go into the recycle bin) This is not a large amount of information based on what I have read and should not be an issue. For a while, I was able to successfully go to the end user recycle bin and use the javascript:emptyItems(); command in the address bar to clear out only these specifiy documents. However, it began to error out. The error is, "Cannot complete this action."
Now when I go to the Site Collection Recycle Bin and click on "Empty Recycle Bin," I get the same error.
My thought from this point, is that maybe the stage two recycle bin was full and causing the system to error.
So, I went to the "Deleted from end user Recycle Bin" and selected all the items on the first page and clicked "Delete Selection." Again the same error.
I am able to delete items individually in the "Deleted from end user Recycle Bin" and 200 at a time in the Site Collection Recycle Bin.
Any Ideas to solving, please help.
