This is where all file uploads go, including image uploads. This is what you see when you view the Entry details, the original data as it was entered.</p> <p>What happens is the Post Image field then takes this upload and processes it through the WordPress media processor... which creates the various image sizes and places them in the standard location for media uploads.</p> <p>So it is save to delete the files located in the gravity_forms folder, it won't impact the posts. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/file-uploads-duplication#post-9038 Thu, 26 Aug 2010 10:56:00 +0000 wearesocial 9038@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>We're using Gravity Forms for users to upload blog posts with attached images to our site (which we can then moderate &amp; publish). Some of these photos are quite big, and I've noticed that Gravity Forms will store the photos in a folder such as wp-content/uploads/gravity_forms/1/2010/08 but a copy is also made in the default Wordpress upload folder - e.g. wp-content/2010/08 - and it is this copy that is shown in the blog posts.</p> <p>So my question is, is it safe to delete the files in the wp-content/uploads/gravity_forms/... given that they have now been copied over, or could this cause problems to the plugin or the frontend user? I ask as we have a lot of photos uploaded to our site, and keep on running out of diskspace. Thanks! </p>
