Second-stage-recycle-bin-quota: Stsadm property (Windows SharePoint Services)
Applies To: Windows SharePoint Services 3.0
Topic Last Modified: 2007-11-06
Description
Specifies how much hard disk space is available to a second stage Recycle Bin as a percentage of the quota allotted to the Web application.
For example, if you have allotted 200 megabytes (MB) of hard disk space for the Web application, allotting 50 percent quota for the second stage Recycle Bin allots 100 MB for the second stage Recycle Bin and 300 MB for the Web application as a whole.
By default, a second stage Recycle Bin stores items that are deleted from a Recycle Bin. The administrator of the site collection manages this second stage Recycle Bin.
This property is equivalent to the Add __ percent of live site quota for second stage deleted items user interface setting that is located on the Web Application General Settings page of the SharePoint Central Administration Web site.
