XF 2.3 Pics in quotations question

[Anatoliy]

I have a lot of old threads that contains posts, that holds pictures in quotations. I guess I could free a lot of space on my server by deleting those attachments in quotations. How can I find them all? Please advise.

But don'they use the same image as the post that is quoted though?

I don't think so. See that attachment on a screenshot?
Those posts are from times I was on vBulletin. I guess I got some mess with attachments after switching to XF.

Ah, I was wondering if it was some earlier software. So are they actually duplicated attachments? I may need to look back into my old posts from pre-import days then. Perhaps the import caused duplicates.

just checked. attachments in an original post still stays after I deleted attachments from a post that quotes the original post with attachments.

it looks like that

It does but I'd check in the attachment browser, if the quote is close in time to the post it's quoting then any duplicate images should be obvious.

But could be a long process if you have to do it manually.

I delete attachments from the quotes, where they shouldn't be in the first place. The original attachments stays in the original post.

I don't think I need extra check, I think I need a list of posts, which contain quotes with attachments inside.
