Delete deleted-posts permanently in bulk?

[JammyDodger]

I’m afraid I’m at the start of my Discourse journey, so lack the necessary expertise for that.

Is it possible to amend this to target deleted posts rather than a user’s posts to achieve a similar thing?

Deleting a users posts (with large post count+history)

I think that what you’ll need to do is select all posts owned by the user and replace the post with Post deleted at request of user Something like Post.where("id = 123").update_all(raw: "Post deleted...") That’s not tested. You’d want to test it. I’m not sure if you’d need to rebake those posts or not. Edit: I think that’d still leave the edit history, though. But, maybe only if there were an edit history.
