XF 1.5 Best way to delete all avatars?

[Tejstar]

Hi there

My host has an 250,000 inode limit, which I am well over.

Doing some digging I found that the Xenforo forum 'data/avatar' folder itself has c220,000 inodes. So I would like to delete all of the avatars - can someone tell me the best way to go about this please?

Can I just delete the following folders without impacting the forum?

data\avatars\l
data\avatars\m
data\avatars\s

Each of these three folders have roughly 70k/75k inodes each.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Don't delete any folders, it will break your forum.

You could use this add-on to delete users which have never posted and have not logged in for over a year.

Thanks @AndyB that is helpful and hopefully will significantly cut down on users!

Is there anything else to do once running this process i.e. any kind of recycle bin/cache that needs to be fully flushed before the users and all data are actually properly deleted from the server?
