deleting messages
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýMy group was at 94% of our 1 gig allowance. I have been deleting attachments as per instructions (very tedious), but via group discussion we decided to delete a large number of messages from the early days, thereby getting rid of the message and attachment at the same time. (Will this happen, or will the attachments stay in storage even though the corresponding message is no longer there?) I can¡¯t find any way to jump to the oldest message other than change the date order ¡ is that correct? Can I bulk delete messages, or do I have to open each one, click on More, then click on Delete Message? I want to delete about 2000 messages !! Keeping my fingers crossed, but I¡¯m not optimistic¡ Win |
Win, good news! Messages don't count as part of your allowance.
What Is Counted Towards The Storage Limits For My Group?
?
The following are counted towards the storage limits for your group:
?
Files
Photos
Images in databases
Images in wiki pages
Message attachments
Messages themselves are not counted towards the storage limits, only any attachments.
-- Source: /static/pricing#what-is-counted-towards-the-storage-limits-for-my-group Removing content is tedious. If you view messages as topics, it is faster. But only remove old ones with attachments. If you migrated from YahooGroups, attachments weren't migrated. See 5. What gets transferred using the Transfer Agent?
?
Groups.io can transfer message archives, properly owned and properly threaded, (without attachments, however), photos, files, links and databases. Calendar entries are not copied at this time. Subscribers (members) are also transferred, maintaining their subscription options and ownership of each message and other group content.

You might want to ensure you picked the right option for you about?
Go to Admin, Settings. Scroll down to Message Policies. Out of Space gives you some options.? Delete old attachments is the option I choose, rather than bounce email. Also from the Plans and Prices page: ?
We send you a warning when you've reached 80% of your storage limit. You can configure your group to either bounce messages when you've reached your storage limit, or to automatically delete old attachments to keep you under the storage limit. Photos and files are never automatically deleted.

¿ªÔÆÌåÓýThank you Frances¡ This is an established groups.io group from back in January 2018. I know about the messages not counting towards the 1gig allocation. I was hoping that I could delete early messages, thereby deleting any attachments or insertions in them at the same time. There is no point in keeping the messages if the related attachments or insertions are removed anyway. There are no photo albums, just the folder of images inserted in the emails (and I¡¯ve already attempted to delete those on several previous occasions with problems about clicking on an image to open it does not open the selected photo but opens one or 2 further on. This problem has never been resolved despite a couple of emails to Mark a LONG time ago before the current Yahoo debacle, he didn¡¯t even respond to the last one. There is no Wiki containing photos, no database¡ all I have are messages with attached and/or inserted images. The files area is only 84 MB in total, so is not really a problem. I have looked through this groups Wiki and there is nothing (or I can¡¯t find it) which is helpful to my specific request. So, once again, do I have to open each message to be able to delete it??

(Will this happen, or will the attachments stay in storage even though the corresponding message is no longer there?)I just tested and deleting a topic (or message) deletes the attachment. In Photos, I can see the amount of storage going down after I delete some. Just go to Photos - menu on the left in your group home. As far a jumping down a list, you can't jump ahead except the small amount displayed but you can change the number of items displayed on the screen. Go to your name in the top right corner. Choose Account, Preferences, change the number for Items per Page. (Some reported problems with infinite scroll.) Be sure to Update Preferences at the bottom of the page. I can¡¯t find any way to jump to the oldest message other than change the date order ¡ is that correct?Just by using the toggle beside word date - the little blue triangle.

Important to know...for those who have recently transferred, the attachments were not transferred with your messages. Sort the messages in inverse date order by clicking the Date link at upper right, then see?/g/GroupManagersForum/message/22411?for instructions on how to delete messages and/or entire topics. It is tedious. If most of your attachments consist of photos, they might be more efficiently deleted from the Emailed Photos folder.
