In my office we run a number of Buffalo NAS drives for file storage. These drives all have the 'trashbox' enabled, in short a recycle bin for the network shares.

Periodically I need to clean out the trashbox in order to reclaim disk space

I'd like to delete files form the trashbox that were moved there 1 month ago, or earlier. Is there any way I can see when these files were deleted and moved into this trashbox?

I've run a quick test and it doesn't seem like any of the file attributes change when they get moved here, so how can I identify the oldest ones?

I hope this will be a little bit helpful to you. I am having the same issue. I want to delete very old files from the trashbox.

I found this discussion (by googling, which is how I found your question).

One method is to use CMD window and emulate DOS functions. (if you are doing PC's for over 30 years you will know what this is). The other is to create a script, which is not something that I know how to run, but I will keep looking.
