How to remove completly pages/my elements from the database?

When you remove a page or a "my element", it disappears from the list, and seems to be deleted forever, but it remains at the database, taking up space...

I know that the reason for this is so that it won't have an error 500 when editing an article that pointed to that page via the "page" element (something that I experienced after importing a page that pointed to an element that didn't exist!!!).

I can remove the deleted items from the database manually, but is there a way to do it via the back-office?

Also, it would be a good idea to test if the page/element exists in a saved page, because as I said above I got an error 500 when editing a page that was imported and pointed to another page that didn't exist (not even at the deleted state).

Hi
thank you for your feedback. I understand your request
- there is interface to remove it permanently for now, I will check how to implement that
- for the 500 error, do you mean when using the Page addon ? calling a page in the content ?

I'm not able to reproduce it again, but it was when I imported a page from another project that had a link to a page that didn't exist in this site. I retried it and it is not giving me that error.
