upload folder (unused files and duplicates)

[Patrick]

When a CRM user creates a post, stream, or a lead / account, s/he can upload pictures for the record, but after uploading, the CRM user may choose not to 'save' or 'update' the Record in question. (by clicking cancel or navigate to somewhere else)

In this case, the uploaded files are already in the ESPOCRM/data/upload directory, but no record is going to use them.

Are they automatically cleaned up by Cron job? or they just stay there cluttering the entire directory?


Thank you in advance.

Hello

For now these files aren't deleted.

In file application/Espo/Jobs/Cleanup.php change $collection definition in the method cleanupAttachments

$collection = $this->getEntityManager()->getRepository('Attachment')->where(array(
            'OR' => array(
                array(
                    'role' => ['Export File']
                ),
                array(
                    'role' => 'Attachment',
                    'relatedId' => null,
                    'parentId' => null                    
                )
            ),
            'createdAt<' => $dateBefore
        ))->limit(0, 100)->find();

Thank you Tanya, I've made the modifications accordingly.

its overwritten with each Espo Upgrade. Currently I'll just change it every time after upgrade.

You can develop own job, which will delete attachments without parent
