Link: Autotrash – Purges files from your trash based on age and/or filename

Autotrash is a simple Python script which will purge files from your trash based on their age or the amount of free space left on the device. Using autotrash -d 30 will delete files which have been in the trash for more then 30 days. It uses the FreeDesktop.org Trash Info files included in the new GNOME system to find the correct files and the dates they where deleted.

Features:
Remove files that are older then a given number of days (see the -d option)
Purge older files to ensure a specific amount of disk space is free (see the –min-free option)
Check for remaining disk space, and only delete if you are running out (see the –max-free option)
Delete regex matching files first (see –delete-frist option)
