How to delete files from the File Upload Manager

[impact]

I can assure you no one would access your material, however, if I am reading what you are saying correctly, the attachment manager should only be used as a tool to upload material to the forum and not to archive your personal material.

We will of course look into this and get back to you.

i was looking to delete the files myself, hence my participation in this thread.
so im not upset that they were deleted.. just saying the thought of them being accessed by and deleted by someone else was a little bit of a bummer but its not that big of a deal. i appreciate the help and i would still like to be able to delete the files myself, as it is still not working for me.

hi dude, the system is now working as it should, it was the system that deleted your files, in the upload manager it says unused files will be deleted automatically after one hour.

this was the part of the scheduled tasks that was not working.
so please do not worry about our security, nobody has access to your attachments apart from the admins and the system, admins would only removes files that break our rules.

Yep! Definitely seems to be working correctly now. I still can't figure out how to delete files from within the manage attachments window (no X delete option appears over the icons in the main window) but I can delete them from the Settings>Attachments link and the non-utilized uploads now are automatically deleted as it says in the manage attachments window. Thanks for your hard work Facialadmin! Much appreciated!

I can't delete files from the "settings"->"attachments" nor the manage attachments window... weird... help anyone?

I can only remove them from a post, but some posts I cannot edit.. so no way to remove them....?

If you hover over the thumbnail a little box will appear. Tick it and delete it.

It will not vanish immediately, it is done as a cron job by the server.

Maybe for an administrator.....

This does not work... There is no little box.... when hovering in attachment manager only thing that appears is a question mark...

the question mark tells me what thread the picture is posted in.... if I go to that post, I can't edit the post to remove the picture to allow the chron job to remove unused picture. I assure you the above does not work.

I think that free members here are unable to edit their posts. Hence you cannot delete pics.

If there are pics you want removing, let me know and I will do it for you.

Does deleting files in the attachment manager also delete them from the threads they are in?

When you move your mouse over the picture in the File Upload manager, you will see cross in the right corner. Clicking on it will delete the file.
