I'm trying to empty a large trashcan (about 100 GB) in Alfresco Community Edition 5.1.e, but all I get (using Alfresco Share) is "Failed to recover {0}".
The logs show:

2017-09-11 12:07:00,007 INFO  [org.springframework.extensions.webscripts.connector.RemoteClient] [ajp-apr-8009-exec-13] Exception calling (DELETE) http://localhost:8080/alfresco/s/api/archive/workspace/SpacesStore?alf_ticket=TICKET_xxxxxxxxxxxxx
2017-09-11 12:07:00,007 INFO  [org.springframework.extensions.webscripts.connector.RemoteClient] [ajp-apr-8009-exec-13] Error status 408 Read timed out
java.net.SocketTimeoutException: Read timed out
        at java.net.SocketInputStream.socketRead0(Native Method)

Solution seems to be increasing http.socket.timeout, as stated here:

[#ALF-18441] Read Timeout when delete big sites 

but that is for Alfresco 4.x. So the question is: What is the right way to fix this in Alfresco 5.1.e?

Thanks!

I think, just the GUI is detached because of the timeout. The process that is emptying the trash can should still be working. You will just have to wait, deleting 100GB from the trash takes a long time.
