Purge Domino document deletion stubs immediately

How do you purge all document deletion stubs on the Lotus Domino server immediately instead of waiting for the set purge interval?

Deletion stubs in a database can be purged by selecting File --> Replication --> Settings, and entering 0 (zero) days in the "Remove documents not modified in the last" setting. Click OK and close the database. Open the database again to immediately purge the deletion stubs and then change the setting back to 90 days.


IMPORTANT: If you check the "Remove documents not modified in the last" setting and enter "0" in the Days field, all documents will be deleted from the database. DO NOT check this box. Only change the number of days setting to "0". Press the TAB key and as soon as the cursor leaves this field, the purge action executes.
