XF 2.2 Permanently delete all soft deleted posts and permanently delete all profile posts

[Spartan]

I need to free up disk space. Is there a way to permanently delete all soft deleted posts and permanently delete all profile posts?

tbh, deleting posts would not save you much data unless you are going to delete hundreds of thousands of them. even then it likely would only save a 100-200MB of database storage. you can save more storage by disabling image proxy or trending content if you are using them.

Agreed, there's not a lot of space recovery coming out of that.

I would suggest sorting your attachments by size and see if they are worth keeping (perhaps you can link it off-site instead, eg a free hosting platform) or remove it altogether.
admin.php?attachments/&order=file_size&direction=desc
