Way to remove images?

[bhtoys]

So apparently I'm running out inodes (sp?) on my server.
Is there a way to remove old images from products that I've since removed from my site? 

Like, easier than randomly clicking thousands of files to find out where the images are?
I assumed that when I deleted a product, the image would go with it, but that's not the case.

I'm faced with a  $70 increase if I don't get it lower. Currently at 92%  of 300,000

You can use this module 

or Tidy from CodeCanyon.

In any case before doing any cleanup - do a proper DB and file backup that's in your control.

I'd upgrade the server or change it if they just do stuff to raise prices.

Those plugins (especially the one from Mediacom) do much more than clearing old images. If you can squeeze few more moths out of your current plan it might be worth to invest one of them. Clearing old connections and logs could also sligtly imrpove your site speed (old images are just junk, they don't slow it down).

They've had this in place for years. I've been with them 8 years and it's because of this that I'm at a limit.

*sigh*

I bought it, downloaded it, uploaded it, and now it doesn't show. 
So, I did it two more times. 
Nothing.

I swear ThirtyBees hates me or something, everything is a damn challenge.

Are you uploading this zip?



This is the feature you need in this case - it will go through your img folder and find all images not associated with products. Just curious how many it will find, please share! 🙂

I assumed (like others I've used), that the main zip was what I had to upload. Just did this one now. Will report back.

Another reminder to make a BACKUP of your DB and FILES! 😉 

[bhtoys]

That did nothing but take money from my wallet. 
No images removed. NO drop in the inodes count.

Did that.

It did not find any images or simply your inodes are not taken by images? For me the first time I ran it it deleted around 1000 images.

Maybe it takes awhile to register. I'm now at 87% of capacity...

Yes, cPanel takes some time to refresh.

15k of images is plenty of junk.

You can browse some of module functions but be careful as every single one of those is irreversible w/o backup.

I've cleared out some non-customers and shit like that. 
87.28% looks like the final amount. 

I'm happy with that, I shouldn't have to worry about it for awhile now. 
Thanks!

[bhtoys]

Make that, 83.73% now... 
I think I'm good for at least a year now.

so you will recommend this module now?
