Google Tasks default list Scrubber!

What is it

Scrubs all deleted tasks in a given list having first moved all completed tasks there too - helps address this issue.

You can see your existing tasks here - remember to look in the trash!

It is based on the original quickstart branch but has been modified so that it:

For a given task list...

1. Iterates through completed tasks and moves to bin, or
2. as above but also scrubs the task name and contents, including the bin

Notes

1. this has been created to move my +3000 tasks from my default list (previously in the trash) so that they can disappear for eternity - it did the job perfectly though it did take a while to run having had to press the big button 30 times or more
2. if you receive an out of quota message, just try again
3. if you receive any other error messages, just try again
4. you may end up with only 1 task remaining - take a look at that task as it may simply be an empty task
5. feel free to contribute
6. use at your own risk!
