Thanks Attachments are automatically deleted when you delete content. Do note though that by default the content isn't immediately deleted.

FASEOFMARS Posted August 30, 2019 Author Share Posted August 30, 2019 The attachments are still showing in ‘my attachments’ long after deletion is there an option for this somewhere I’m missing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bfarber Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 You can look in the ModCP under deleted content to see if the post is still present in a deletion queued state. Also, if an attachment was reused in another post elsewhere then it won’t be deleted when the original post was deleted because it is still in use.

FASEOFMARS Posted August 31, 2019 Author Share Posted August 31, 2019 Both of these have no location to display and the posts have been deleted. 🤔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FASEOFMARS Posted September 1, 2019 Author Share Posted September 1, 2019 It's not just them, all my attachments are not being deleted automatically. Is there not an option for this somewhere that im missing that i may of toggled by mistake? Does this option have anything to do with it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joel R Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 What setting do you have for Delayed delete? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FASEOFMARS Posted September 1, 2019 Author Share Posted September 1, 2019 Would this be the delayed delete? I have no idea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opentype Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 No, the setting is called “Permanently delete content”. If content can be restored, for say 30 days, then the attachment need to be kept until then. And even if the topic was finally removed, it still wouldn’t automatically delete attachment. There is a different task which deals with orphaned files on a regular basis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FASEOFMARS Posted September 1, 2019 Author Share Posted September 1, 2019 How often would be a regular basis? because the problem persists when things have been permanently deleted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opentype Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 Again, what are your settings for “permanently delete settings”? It it’s like 1 month, it would be perfectly normal to keep the two files you showed in your screenshot. And as mentioned before, if you still have problems with this, open a ticket.

FASEOFMARS Posted September 1, 2019 Author Share Posted September 1, 2019 My setting was 1 day. I feel like im talking in circles abit, the content has been permanently deleted with 'No locations to display' I have attachments dating back a month that have been permently deleted too.
