Nope doesn't. It's not like I'm going to be putting any files not related to the database uploads in the uploads folder... and even IF I did, the database would only delete the related files, not everything in the folder that wasn't linked...
It does provide some interesting options though, instead of deleting files when the record gets deleted, you could queue up file names for deletion, and then delete them with a cron, that way the disk only gets hit once during the night for file deletions... -Thadeus On Tue, Dec 22, 2009 at 8:59 AM, Yarko Tymciurak < resultsinsoftw...@gmail.com> wrote: > On Dec 22, 12:28 am, Thadeus Burgess <thade...@thadeusb.com> wrote: > > I just figured that would be default behavior... why would I have a file > on > > my system with absolutely no references to them anymore?
