Title: Deleting Intermediate Pictures
Post by: danman on March 05, 2005, 12:05:16 PM
Does anyone know how to delete intermediate pictures?

I've recently installed Coppermine and originally had the option on for intermediate pictures for a bunch of pictures.  Due to the limits of my webhosts server storage, I deleted the "normal_" files for that bunch of pictures.  But it still doesn't register as being deleted and having a decrease of storage on my webhost (the files aren't showing up as being physically there, and they seem to be invisible and STILL take up space! ???)!

Any help with this would be appreciated!

Thanks. ;)

First, don't delete anything with FTP that Coppermine creates.  You can turn off intermediate images in your config settings, then use the admin tools to recreate the thumbs and intermediate images, which will delete all intermediate images.

If you used something like cpanel to delete, it goes to a temporary folder called Trash. You must empty it to recover storage space.

However, you should restore them and then use CPG to delete them properly.
