Your see, the server I rented is not very bid. And I find people like to upload attachments in the discourse. I have already set the maximum size of the attachments, while still the discourse Backup file is still too big.
Is it possible that I can search for the big attachments(say bigger than 10 M) and I can delete the attachment.
I wouldn’t be so concerned about how much space they’re taking up without considering their potential usefulness.
For example, if a topic had been archived, unlisted and had not been visited in a long time (i.e. the chances anyone might still be interested in the attachment are extremely rare) then I guess it might be OK to delete them. It would probably only impact members that were using the forum for long term file storage.
The word dangerous I mentioned is not I’m afraid of deleting the attachments, I’m actually afraid of miss deleting other files eapecially some system components that will kill the discourse system. If I can delete these attachments one by one, I will delete them.
