Looking similar to /wp-content/uploads/gravity_forms/2-2781bb962d2439f40d237ed999527b7a/2012/11 and also with copies of images in a tmp folder which renames images like 509dcd67467bd_input_25.jpg</p> <p>Once a blog post is published the media image url's are formed exactly as they should, i.e. /wp-content/uploads/2012/12/mypic.jpg and fetched/inserted into the post.</p> <p>The question here is one of storage. Do all the Gravity Form upload folders and image files need to be left intact? For instance, I have a file called mypic.jpg in gf/uploads/.../2012/11 and a copy in the /tmp folder called 50a9a98f125ac_input_25.jpg AND the same file in the media folders, /wp-content/uploads/2012/11/mypic.jpg</p> <p>Over a period of time that could account for a large amount of storage space. Thanks for any insight and determination that leaving all this "as is" is a necessity within the system.</p> <p>Version 1.6.12 </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/wp-contentuploadsgravity_forms-what-is-kept-here#post-35356 Wed, 14 Sep 2011 19:36:05 +0000 Anonymous 35356@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>will do thank you </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/wp-contentuploadsgravity_forms-what-is-kept-here#post-35284 Wed, 14 Sep 2011 12:54:35 +0000 Chris Hajer 35284@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>You can safely delete files inside the tmp folders.</p> <p>Gravity Forms puts uploads in a temporary folder before they are moved. That's what is inside these tmp folders. They should be take care of automatically, but if they were not for some reason, you can safely delete them.</p> <p>If it happens again (if files are left in the tmp folder) it would be worth investigating to find out why it's happening. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/wp-contentuploadsgravity_forms-what-is-kept-here#post-35228 Tue, 13 Sep 2011 21:54:50 +0000 Anonymous 35228@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I have a strange file called oldtemp.php in<br /> \wp-content\uploads\gravity_forms\2\tmp</p> <p>What exactly are these folder for and should anything be stored there?</p> <p>From my provider:</p> <p>/wp-content/uploads/gravity_forms/2/tmp/oldtemp.php</p> <p>Please review the malicious nature of these files and remove them. </p>
