is there a way to clean project. ex: delete all media files or selective delete from a range of date. ex delete media file from 2017
because i have form with multiple pictures that are important to have in short term but not important to keep for a long period and it will consume too much space on the server
could be good to have this option in the web console or
if it can be done via command line ist ok too … just explain me how i can perform this task
Hi jonat. Wondering if you ever came up with a solution for this? I to would like to batch delete some media files to save space on the server. Thanks!
Welcome to the community, @jamie.broad! Kindly please be informed that our team is working on this feature so that users should be able to delete media attachments from the submissions to save storage space. Will ping you back when this feature goes live. But just to let you know that it could take some time. cc: @jonat
Thank you for the response.
Hi @Kal_Lam I was wondering if this has been implemented yet and I am just not finding the option.
Many thanks, David
Welcome to the community, @ds1987!
No, not yet! We will update you once we make this feature live.
@jonat, @jamie.broad, @ds1987, we are pleased to inform you that this feature is now live. You can learn more about it in our support article: Deleting media files.
Sorry to reactivate this thread but I think it is relevant. All media has been removed from the project but it is still showing as 4.3Gb which seems excessive for 636 records.
Is this something you are aware of? It also appears that the more recent entries aren’t actually deleted after removing them in the same way I have previously.
No option to delete them in the data tab is showing up because I have already removed them. Is your page only delinking them from the questionnaire records but not actually removing them from the server?
Hi @ds1987 as discussed via email, there were more than 1,050 pictures in your form that were using 5,5GB of storage. Once they were deleted, the storage metrics reflected it successfully. Thank you for reaching out and using KoboToolbox!
