Whenever a file is uploaded its path is stored in user custom metadata.</p> <p>I've noticed that whenever I upload a new file or just delete an existing one and save - the DB gets updated - the custom metadata field gets updated/deleted accordingly. However, in both cases the physical files are never deleted from the GF upload folder, which can grow very fast full of not needed anymore files.</p> <p>That sounds like a bug. Can it be looked into please? Also, meanwhile, is there a solution to implement, so the files are deleted from the upload folder?</p> <p>I would hugely appreciate any help.</p> <p>Many thanks, Dasha</p> <p>WP: 3.5.1.<br /> Gravity Forms: 1.6.12<br /> User Registration Add-on: 1.5 </p>
