Permanently deletion of private messages crashes

Hi team,

I’ve been playing a bit with the new feature offered in the v2.8.0.beta7 release about permanently deletion of posts (really much appreaciated), and I think Ive found a potential bug while trying to delete a private message, giving a 500 internal error.

So repro steps are:

  • Go to Messages, and (soft) delete one.
  • Admin actions of that message, click on permanent deletion
  • 500 error

Trace is as follows:

On the other hand, I would like to ask you if you are considering this option to be executed in bulk, and not per post/topic as it is now? In any case many thanks for providing it :slight_smile:

Cheers,
Ismael
