XF 2.1 Identify unused attachments on the server...?

Hi there,

is there a way to identify and delete unused and thus orphaned files (images, attachments, etc pp..)?

The forum folder is about 30GB large..., there are certainly unused files in it.


Greetings,
Philip
 
There shouldn’t be any unused files. XF automatically deletes attachments which are unused (such as a post that is never completed, or a post that is deleted).

You may need to be more specific about what the files are and where they are stored.

Chris, which Cron job should be doing it? On a test install I've done a batch update to purge most of the old content but it doesn't appear to have deleted anything from the /internal_data/attachments folder. I've manually run the daily & hourly cleanup jobs and verified that the file IDs don't show in the attachments table.
