Attachments!!!

[hed]

I've imporred my board phpBB 2 to vB 3.8.4 PL1.
I've imported attachments too.
Next, I've moved attachments from database to files system. When vB asked my "delete attachmets from database?", I sad: yes (300 per session). I've waited 2 hours (10 GB attachmets to delete) and what I see? ****! Attachments are in the database (and on the ftp sevrer). So I deleted attachments from database manually. And that was probably my mistake beacuse I can not see any attachment on my board now.
Can you explain my that?
Why attachments were not deleted from the database?

Anyone...?

You cannot delete the attachment table. It has important information that points to where the attachment is stored. Attachments *were* deleted from the database, just information was left to point to where it was moved to was left and if you have now deleted that information, well, your attachments won't work.

Attachments *were* deleted from the database, just information was left
Unfortunately were not. Table's weight is still 8 GB.

You need to optimize it after moving the attachments, then the size will be reduced.

OK, I'm going to try this way.
