Can the Recycle Bin be emptied? Also how do you remove old PM's?

pmwwwgtalkvForum | | Re: New Admin needs help (29th May 11 at 10:00am UTC) | | Hi,
You can use the "Purge Forum Database" feature within the admin panel to remove old posts which will remove some of the older entries from the recycle bin. It is a security feature to prevent data being deleted by accident that prevents any posts deleted less than 14 days ago from being removed.
Old PMs can only be deleted by their participants. Once all participants have left a PM conversation, that conversation will be removed. | |

Thanks for the reply. I'm afraid I can't find the Purge function in the admin panel. Is it hidden somewhere?
This is what I've got. | |

pmwww | | Re: New Admin needs help (29th May 11 at 5:11pm UTC) | | The "Purge Forum Database" feature is only accessible by the Main Admin account (the one with the username "admin") for security purposes; you'll need to make sure you're logged in to that account in order for the link to show up.  | |
