I’m using the `create_for` method on the `Upload` class, which creates a row in the uploads table amongst other things. I’m saving the id of the upload to a table i’ve created yet after a couple of days or so the upload seems to get trashed and no longer exists.

I’m not touching or updating the live site in any way. Is there a job that runs that deletes uploads or something of the like?

Read the Site Setting `clean up uploads`.
