 deleted automatically after 30 days. You may bypass the trash and permanently delete files immediately
 by using the [--jottacloud-hard-delete](#jottacloud-hard-delete) flag, or set the equivalent environment variable.
 Emptying the trash is supported by the [cleanup](/commands/rclone_cleanup/) command.
