How to permanently delete items from trash
When I first started using Zotero, I accidentally added many duplicate items. As a result, my library was huge. So I've been going through "duplicate" items and deleting the duplicate records/files.
That has resulted in about 2000 items in the trash. It's taking up lots of space.
I don't see a way to select multiple items in the trash for deletion, because all the records are "open". The multiple select of the actual files causes the "delete permanently" button to white-out and disappear.
Any suggestion so that I don't have to go through and hand-select 2000 items?

Alternatively you can select items you want to remove from the trash (or select all with "cmd+a" on a mac or "ctrl+a" on windows) and press "cmd+left arrow" (again "ctrl+left arrow" on windows) to collapse selected items which will allow deleting selected items with "delete premanently" button (or delete key on your keyboard).
