XF 2.3 Best ways to trim attachments?

[ibrian]

I'm looking to remove some older attachments to help create more room in my hosting package.

However, I'm not sure the best way to go about this, though I'm sure there are different methods.

For example:
1. If I delete old threads with attachments, are the attachments deleted with the threads?
2. Is there an automated way to trim attachments from the AdminCP?
3. Is it worth considering trying to change the file form of existing attachments, especially JPGs to WEPB files? (I have over 40GB of images so that might be a little too much!)

Anyway reply welcome.

Yes - attachments are deleted if threads are hard deleted.

Converting to webp would likely reduce the file sizes considerably.
