Photos in Classifed -- removed automatically?
 

I have run a PP Classified for a number of years in my vB forum. I usually have about 200 ads at any given time.

I run the cron job and delete ads regularly, but my photo data files are pretty stuffed full of files. Because it's broken up in so many subdirectories I don't know how many photos are in there. I backed up my website yesterday and as I watched the "data" files list off it sure seemed like a lot more than 200 ads worth of photos.

Do the photos uploaded with an ad get deleted from the database when the ads are removed? I would assume they do, but thought I'd better ask.

If you have around 200 ads there could be up to 3600 images. Each ad can hold up to 6 images and each image could have 3 images a thumbnail a large image and the regular image.

So then does that meen that the photos get deleted from the server when the ad gets deleted (I had the same question)?

Once an ad is expired and has passed the timeout yes all ads are deleted.

I know that. The photos too??

Yes everything associated with an ad is deleted.

Ok. Thank you.
