Hello, Customer has deleted assets because there w a lot of 6MB pictures taking a lot of disk space on the hosting. Now after 36 hours we can't see a difference because they are still in the resources folder. Is there something I can do or improve?
Thanks in advance
It depends on how the assets were added and how they're used, but they won't magically go after a set number of hours. Cleanup routines are run when content is modified and old versions referencing the assets fall out the of the end of the undo history stack.
So when they are not used anymore across the website, and when manually deleted via assets panel, they still there. So I can't do anything to empty for disk space hosting? Can I delete via ftp in the resources folder?
How were they added?
Via pages > regions > "select or upload a file" --> "add asset"
Hello Drew,
I still didn't found any solution for this question. "After 24 hours assets that are not marked as Library Assets and not in use will be deleted from disk." So they should disappear automatically after 24 hours?
After 24 hours they're eligible to be removed. They won't automatically be removed unless a cleanup process runs (usually when editing content) and they are unambiguously safe to delete.
