Description
I would like to see a folder option from the syncthing GUI to empty the trash can or stored versions manually, if file versioning is used. It is easy to forget about the hidden folders stored there, thus one with bigger files may think about to run out of space.

Research direction
Start by tracing the Syncthing GUI's file-versioning controls and the backend entry points that manage stored versions and trash. Determine how an empty action should distinguish version archives from the trash and what confirmation or safety behavior is needed. Done means the GUI can trigger the requested cleanup and the resulting storage is removed as specified.
