XF 2.2 Deleting unused avatars

[Hristo Avramov]

My hosting accunt is counting how much inodes I can use, I am close to limit. I have checked and its because my avatars folder is over 200 000 inodes, despite me having 40 000 users. Are there some leftover avatar files and how to destinguish them so I can delete?

Each avatar is stored in 5 different sizes, so it's unlikely to be from orphaned files.

Does deleting users via batch update users, delete avatar files?

 

[Jeremy P]

Yeah, you can also just remove avatars without deleting users with the batch update users tool.

Thats a good idea.

Yeah, you can also just remove avatars without deleting users with the batch update users tool.

Just to confirm, this should remove custom avatars and replace it with the letter avatar, right?

 

[Jeremy P]

Yeah.

I did it, the inodes is down from 238 000 to 112 599.
