How to Delete the Records Permanently from the Recycle Bin in Salesforce

Basically in salesforce when you have deleted any record from an object, it will not be deleted permanently and it will be stored in Recycle bin till 15 days from the deletion date.The number of records stored in recycle bin depends on Number of Licenses your organisation has pursed and multiply it with 5000 records.

If the number of records in recycle bin crosses this limit salesforce automatically deletes the old records from Recycle Bin which are at least in recycle bin for 2 hours.If you want to delete the records permanently from recycle bin before salesforce deletes it you can emptyRecylebin() method.


     EmptyRecycleBinResult[] = DataBase.emptyRecyclebin(List of Ids)

Example:

    1. Account Acc = new Account(Id='0016000000I549m');
        Database.emptyRecycleBin(Acc);

Notes:

1. Maximum number of records per call that we can pass is 200
2. Using this function records deleted can not be undeleted again.
3. Theses deleted records from recycle bin can be accessed using the DataBase.queryAll() for some time typically that would be with in 24 hours or may shorter or longer.
