[SOLVED] Deleting unassigned images doesn't work

Hello,
Periodically I go to Flexicontent > Files and delete all the unassigned images to not clutter the server. Today I noticed that if I delete 1 at a time it works fine but if I tick off more than 1, they don't get deleted. I'm at 3.0.13.
Best,
Agata

Hi, I can see on one of my sites that now the unassigned images get deleted, which is great and saves me a task I have to do manually. However, on at least one other site the unassigned images remain there and the problem with deleting more than 1 at a time remains. Both sites in question are upgraded to 3.0.13.

Hello

there is a parameter to enable auto-delete of images
- you need to enable parameter
- the parameter is available for image field using image source: "DB-mode"

same feature will be added for folder mode, but for folder mode is less important because the images are added per item
(but it is still useful/needed) and it is scheduled to add:
github.com/FLEXIcontent/flexicontent-cck/issues/369

Hello, thanks for this. I went to all my image fields, the option was by default set to Always, just in case I re-saved them all but there are still unassigned images and if I select more than 1 at a time, they don't get deleted.

Hello

The images are deleted
- if image field is in DB-mode
- and if they were previously assigned to the currently edited item
- and they are removed in item form and you click save

the deletion is happening during save

go to FLEXIcontent file manager and find the images,
- check if they are in-use by other items

So I'd either need to:
1) go to each item and save
2) delete unassigned images one by one?
Ok that will have to do, thanks!
