Deleting old attachments query

Andy Wedge All Messages By This Member #14104 开云体育 Hi, ? I filled up the 1GB available storage on one of my subgroups by sending email attachments and uploading files (the file upload button is now inactive). I had the group settings at ‘Bounce’ when out of space and when I sent a new email with an attachment it got bounced as expected.? I then changed the group settings to ‘delete old attachments’ and sent the email again.? I now have a new photo in the ‘emailed photos’ album but nothing else appears to have been deleted. ?There’s nothing in the activity log other than the fact that the message was sent via email so how do I see what is supposed to have changed? ? The usage chart for my subgroup shows that it’s using 1.4GB out of a total of 1GB which is interesting and the number of attachments increased by one after I sent the mail again. ? Thanks, Andy ?

How are ‘old attachments’ determined??? Is this purely on date so that the oldest get deleted first or is there some other logic applied so that, for example, attachments on messages in a sticky or locked topic are prevented from being deleted? ?

I believe so. ... or is there some other logic applied so that, for example, attachments on messages in a sticky or locked topic are prevented from being deleted? Hmm... There was some discussion in beta about putting some kind of "keep" marker on attachments to exempt them from auto-delete, or being able to put a link to them in the Files section as a way to mark them. But I don't think anything came of that. Still a good idea, and exempting the attachments of a pinned topic makes perfect sense to me. I'm not so sure about locked topics.
