Hello.

As an additional security measure may I ask whether or not there is any way of instructing Dolphin to wipe, and not only delete, the files older than the age limit defined for the trash? (Preferences/Trash/Delete files older than)

Tnx and have a nice day

doubtful, you would need to create a script and schedule it

there is an old, very old, "clean trash" script on kde-apps.org you could use as a starting point but it has at least one possibly major flaw in that it does not account for the "directorysizes" file that is used for trashed folders.

obviously you would use the wipe or shred command in place of rm
