Scrubs all deleted tasks in a given list having first moved all completed tasks there too - helps address this issue.
You can see your existing tasks here - remember to look in the trash!
It is based on the original quickstart branch but has been modified so that it:
For a given task list...
- Iterates through completed tasks and moves to bin, or
- as above but also scrubs the task name and contents, including the bin
- this has been created to move my +3000 tasks from my default list (previously in the trash) so that they can disappear for eternity - it did the job perfectly though it did take a while to run having had to press the big button 30 times or more
- if you receive an out of quota message, just try again
- if you receive any other error messages, just try again
- you may end up with only 1 task remaining - take a look at that task as it may simply be an empty task
- feel free to contribute
- use at your own risk!
