Hello Discourse community!

I`m maintaining small foreign community using Discourse for more than a year. This platform really has done wonders for us. We are small and most likely will never grow out of 1GB DO droplet. Down the road our only concern is disk space. Which will run out in about a year or two. Of course one solution is to turn off uploads, but I would really like to refrain from it. We are media heavy community and upload feature is important for us.

Is there a way to delete uploaded files? For example all uploads from specific topic.

We already have couple of irrelevant and archived topics who for the most part contain spam. There is no need to maintain uploads in these kind of topics. A way to cleanup uploaded junk would be very helpful.
