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!

@jcgonzalezmartin 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!
