Empty Corporate OneDrive Recycle Bins from PowerShell

[Charisma Riley]

I am looking for a simple method (possibly a PowerShell script) that will completely empty OneDrive recycle bins (incl. the secondary recycle bins) within a given URL `[tenant]-my.sharepoint.com/personal/[username]`; one user at-a-time is an okay solution, as we only need to do this in certain circumstances. I tried using SPO Management Shell, but the app told me that the OneDrive locations are not managed paths within SPO. Using the online interface will only handle 200 files at a time, with a 30 second processing time in between; sometimes we have upwards of 10,000 files in these recycle bins to remove, so this is not an appropriate method. Any ideas are appreciated. Thank you, in advance!

Use CSOM API in your code or PnP cmdlets instead

@Juan Carlos González Martín Thank you. What would a script look like that empties both the regular and secondary recycle bin for the OneDrive account in question? Would the URL remain `[tenant]-my.sharepoint.com/personal/[username]`? The script I use for our SPO tenant looks like this (this one empties the regular recycle bin):

Try {    
    #Setup the context
    $Ctx = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.ClientContext($SiteUrl)
    $Ctx.Credentials = $Credentials
     
    #Move All Deleted Items to 2nd Stage Recycle bin
    $Ctx.Site.RecycleBin.MoveAllToSecondStage()
    $Ctx.ExecuteQuery()
}
catch {
    write-host "Error: $($_.Exception.Message)" -foregroundcolor Red
}

How can I modify this for a user's OneDrive? Thanks again!
