Is there a way to automatically empty the entire trash folder in Google Voice? Is there a script in iMacro (or another Firefox or Chrome compatible extension) or another way to automatically do this without having to click through hundreds of screens and clicking delete? Could someone please write

Unfortunately, Google Voice does not (seem to) support emptying the trash. As a result, it takes many many keyclicks to manually select all items, delete all items. There are some Q&As about this at Google support (see here: http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/voice/thread?tid=0fbbf665d642b05b&hl=en ) that provide script workarounds, but none of them seem to work and they're all old. (I suspect Google broke them.) There should be a simple script in iMacro that does the trick, but I can't seem to find one or write one myself that works. Anyone have any ideas on where to find one? Here's the one for iMacro that I can't seem to get to work: VERSION BUILD=7031111 RECORDER=FX TAB T=1 URL GOTO=https://www.google.com/ voice#trash ONDIALOG POS=1 BUTTON=OK CONTENT= TAG POS=2 TYPE=DIV ATTR=TXT:Select<SP>all TAG POS=5 TYPE=DIV ATTR=TXT:Delete<SP>Forever WAIT SECONDS=3 It doesn't seem to properly operate the Select All pulldown. Any other ways besides a script to empty the trash automatically?

Answer:
Take a look at this article: http://magnatecha.com/how-to-delete-more-than-10-google-voice-messages-at-a-time/. I've tested it out and it works pretty well using the Python utility https://code.google.com/p/pygooglevoice/. This project hasn't been updated in a few years so you'll need to download the source (easy_install -U pygooglevoice), unzip the .egg file to your site-packages folder and edit the files as documented in the article. One major problem with this package is that it does not work with 2-step authentication. Also, I'm guessing that Google Voice will become obsolete soon, as Google is trying to push everything over to Hangouts. If you really wanted to use iMacro, you could always just record yourself deleting a few pages of trash, and run the macro a few times. I'm sure there's also a way to put a loop in iMacro as well until all messages are deleted, I haven't used it too much to give a good answer on how to do this. Hope this helps.
