Hi nitish,
Yes, you can pass all the list of Sobjects that you want to delete: 

Try using the below method:

Database.emptyRecycleBin(sObject[])
 


Hope it helps!  Mark it best if you find it helpful.

Thank you,

Hi Nitish,

Have a look at this code :
  
public class DeleteRecordsFromRecycleBin{

   public static void toDeleteSObjects(){
    
    //fetch the objects that are in recylce bin.   
    try{
     List<SObject>   accList=new list<account>([select id,name from account where isDeleted = true all rows]);
     system.debug(accList);

     List<SObject>   conList=new list<Contact>([select id,name from contact where isDeleted = true all rows]);
     system.debug(conlist);

     List<SObject>   oppList=new list<Opportunity>([select id,name from Opportunity where isDeleted = true all rows]);
     system.debug(oppList);
     //add all objects to a Sobject type list.
     List<SObject> listToDeleteRecycle=new List<Sobject>();
     listToDeleteRecycle.addAll(accList);
     listToDeleteRecycle.addAll(conList);
     listToDeleteRecycle.addAll(oppList);
  
     //delete the Sobject list from recycle bin.
     if(listToDeleteRecycle.size()>0)
      Database.emptyRecycleBin(listToDeleteRecycle);
     
    }
    catch(Exception e){
     system.debug(e.getmessage()+'At line number::'+e.getLineNumber());
    }
  }
}

 

Hope this code will help you resolve your query.
