An AppleScript to create a size-limited trash can
Authored by: aqsalter on Nov 07, '06 11:38:00PM

Does this work?
I used the updated script in the comments, but my trash doesn't seem to be reducing... I've got several large files in folders in the trash (ie not in the root of the trash...) would this affect it?

Thanks,
Adam

I had the same problem. I'm not sure what the problem was, but after relaunching the finder and editing and saving the script a few times it seems to be working...
Killed the "System Events" process too...
I have around 8gb of files so I think it may take a while to determine the oldest file.

Not sure.
