XF 2.2 Will removing a forum also remove the pics attached to the posts inside the forum

[ZeroG]

I want to delete a few forums and hope I don't have to remove each thread permanently to ensure that the posts and pics are also removed by the hourly cron job.
If I mass delete a whole lot of forums would I overload the cron job? My internal_data file is 13 gig and I hope to downsize it to 3 to 5 gig.
Thanks.

Further searching I see the Batch Update in ACP is probably the best way to accomplish this.

Right or wrong?

Either would work but if you want to split the job up, delete batches of threads rather than an entire forum.

Thanks again Brogan.
For clarification you are saying that I can simply delete a forum with 1000 threads and all posts and attachments will be completely removed from the DB and internal_data?

That is by far the easiest for me if it will work.

That's correct.

Woo Hoo. That is awesome. Hats off to the folks who wrote Xen. I'm more impressed every day.
Thanks Brogan!!!!!!
