If you are a regular user of Google Voice, you may have assumed that Google Voice handles its Trash like Google Mail. This of course is not the case. When you delete a voicemail, it stays in your trashcan. Forever. There is no nice one button option to Delete All Trash Now either. If you let your trashed voicemails accrue, you will be deleting thousands of messages, 10 at a time. Here is how to solve the problem with Firefox. Add the iMacros add-on for Firefox, then make a new script on the sidebar and add this code:

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:Selectall
TAG POS=5 TYPE=DIV ATTR=TXT:DeleteForever
WAIT SECONDS=3

Just set your loop for number of emails divided by 10 and let it rip.
