Hi!
Here's a problem I've just noticed and would like some assistance with. I pruned some threads yesterday and when doing a routine site backup today expected to see the associated attachments with those threads also deleted, however this wasn't the case. They were still on the server in the file-system (where I'm storing attachments).
I've tried manually deleting attachments through the AdminCP > Attachments > Search and then deleting them and this also fails to delete the attachments fully. I've also tried deleting them through the UserCP > Settings > Miscellaneous > Attachments this also fails to delete the attachments. They are removed from the thread and upon checking they're no longer in the attachments table in the database, but they remain on both the server and in the filedata table in the database.
How the heck do I physically remove these attachments from vB and thus the file system? I'm basically trying to prune old threads and have any attachments associated with them also removed completely from vB and the file system!
