Umbraco Fix – Empty recycle bin using SQL if backend fails

-- Uncomment below to verify the number of nodes returned is the
-- same as the number of nodes that is in the Recycle Bin
-- select * from umbracoNode where path like '%-20%' and id!=-20
-- Delete all 'related' nodes and table contents...
delete from cmsPreviewXml where nodeId in (select id from umbracoNode where path like '%-20%' and id!=-20)
delete from cmsContentVersion where contentId in (select id from umbracoNode where path like '%-20%' and id!=-20)
delete from cmsDocument where nodeId in (select id from umbracoNode where path like '%-20%' and id!=-20)
delete from cmsContentXML where nodeId in (select id from umbracoNode where path like '%-20%' and id!=-20)
delete from cmsContent where nodeId in (select id from umbracoNode where path like '%-20%' and id!=-20)
delete from cmsPropertyData where contentNodeId in (select id from umbracoNode where path like '%-20%' and id!=-20)
-- delete the XML nodes....
delete from umbracoNode where path like '%-20%' and id!=-20
  1. Also may need to clean up relations with this before deleting from umbracoNode

    delete from umbracoUser2NodePermission where nodeId in (select nodeId from umbracoNode where path like ‘%-20%’ and id!=-20)
