Automatically clearing trash bin

[elahpour]

Hi guys, is it possible to schedule clearing trash bin? like with the first login on Saturdays.

yes it is

Can be perfectly done with a user service and trash-empty.

I don’t recall Xfce or Thunar having a setting for automating this.

yes, a cron job to run trash-empty is what i use. it’s in the trash-cli package, which means no need to use the aur.
