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…

I’d be curious to see if we could filter images for clean up within a certain category? It would be easy for me as an admin to justify removing uploads from “more than 1 year ago, under ## Category” - any discussions with uploads that I’d want to keep could just be moved into a more appropriate cate…

Hmm my suggestion here is to actually use S3 for storage of uploads in this case since the per GB cost is cheaper than what it is costing you on your 1GB DO droplet.

Here are the current (2017) prices for Amazon S3: [imagem] So 10gb = $1.25 month, 50gb = $6.25 per month, and so on.

I already migrated to S3. My upload folder had gone so big that I even could not restore backup(with uploads) on fresh 1GB DO droplet. Now I just need to figure out how to clean my local upload folder. I noticed that avatars are still kept locally, so I can`t just delete all of my local uploads. R…

@tgxworld or @zogstrip can follow up but images unreferenced by posts should be automatically removed over time.

The CleanUpUploads job runs every hour and will delete every uploads that are not used in a post or by a user in their profile or as a category background/icon. If uploads aren’t deleted, then they are referenced somewhere.

That’s a good question. I don’t think we keep uploads only used in drafts. I will check tomorrow to be sure. EDIT: Yeah, @jomaxro reminded me of my own work :wink: We do keep uploads only used in drafts and queued posts.

FYI, looks like you fixed this last year - not sure if your new changes made this irrelevant. Forgot the link… https://meta.discourse.org/t/images-in-drafts-and-queued-posts-are-cleared-to-aggressively/48048/2?u=jomaxro

Is there a way to delete old/irrelevant uploads?

Mudei minhas configurações de retina (responsive_post_image_sizes) e removi a opção 2.0x. Como posso remover agora as miniaturas otimizadas geradas que não são mais usadas? Isso é feito exclusivamente através do rebake:posts? Obrigado..
