Is it best to use the Data Purge Tool to delete items currently in the Recycle Bin? If so (or if not), could you explain why? I find it time consuming to manually copy the Org Unit IDs from the Recycle Bin and paste them individually into the Data Purge set. What are the best practices when using this tool and deleting items in the recycle bin? Is there an easier way to perform this?

    Ultimately it depends on what your goals are for performing the actions.

    Data Purge is a destructive process and items cannot be restored after they have been Purged.
    Items in the recycling bin can be restored.
    Data Purge is a good way to manage an instance's overall storage footprint. Before utilizing data purge you likely want to consult legal teams and policy makers at your organization to determine what your data retention policies are.
