We've got all these great behaviors to upload images but what about deleting them?

I've got a few sites that use pure asp upload and i'm about to buy pure php upload for a few more. Some clients sites are starting to get a bit heavy on disk usage due to the images that are no longer required on the server.

Any chance of a hand writing a script that will delete image using the filename in the record when the record is deleted? Thanks.

The PHP command "Unlink" will delete a file, so just use that right before you delete the record.

Proper usage found here:

This tutorial will explain how to delete a file while using an update form or a delete form in conjunction with PureASPUpload 1 & 2.

We are working on an add on pack for the pure php upload as well. So you can delete the files.
