## Description

Once a day wordpress deletes all trashed items which had been in the trash for more
then N days, where N stands for the value of EMPTY_TRASH_DAYS constant which may
be defined in wp-config.php file.

This plugin presents a different way to control the number of trashed days. Instead
of manually editing wp-config.php which is usually not convenient and somewhat dangerous,
you can set the number of days in a settings page.
 In addition there is a tool 
to empty the cache from Items older the a specified number of days.

Usage:
 Get to the settings page via the menu “Options” >> “Empty trash” Get to 
the delete trash tool page via the menu “Tools” >> “Empty trash”

Network considerations:
 The plugin was not tested in a network installation, but
it should work gibing the individual site admin a control over his trash which is
possibly different then other sites on the network. The plugin do not have network
wide settings

Important:
 For better or worse the plugin employs **exactly** the same deleting
algorithm used by the wordpress version running the site.

Limitations:
 The plugin will not be able to function well if you have EMPTY_TRASH_DAYS
set in your wp-confing.php
