Some uploaded images exceed max pixel size

[Canis]

We have a limit of max 1000px vertical or horizontal. But uploads contains over 300 images that are larger, up to 12000x9000px!
All image types are affected.

When you change that setting, it doesn't go back and update images uploaded before that date. Any images over your setting, should be resized and saved. Note that Gallery will always try and store the original image alongside the resized versions.

Thanks. But we have always used max 1000px vertical or horizontal.

We do not use Gallery, forum postings only.

We would need some examples in order to take a look for you

[Canis]

Please have a look at our Access Information Notes.

I need to know where they are showing incorrectly

[Canis]

I searched for some of them in ibf_core_attachments and none were found.

I'm a little confused on how you're seeing this then if you do not have a topic or other example content where they are?

[Canis]

In the uploads folders. They seems to be from the last 5 years.

Hard to say without an example tied to a current content item. Could be a failed deletion from when you previously allowed something large, from a third party app which did not follow our guidelines, something like Gallery where the original file was kept, etc... Too many cases for us to narrow down.

[Canis]

The dimensions settings has never been changed and we have never used Gallery.
We use only one 3. party app which is only related to displaying topics.
Latest files that exceed the dimensions limits is from April this year.

Is there a way of deleting orphaned images?

There should not be orphaned images. The software will delete attachments once content has been deleted.

The only way would be to create a new folder and then change the file storage configuration to move to that new folder, thus it will only move items it is aware of.

[Canis]

Many thanks, that worked.

791 orphaned images deleted, 1.8GB.
