Can't clear my upload manager

[democrituspara]

Hi!

My Upload Manager is full and I can't for the life of me find the delete button. It says that any files not in use by the forums will auto-delete in one hour, but this has not happened despite me deleting the comments where they appeared.

Help please? I need the space to post maps and save files for multiplayer.

Thanks.

Deleting a comment?
Do you mean a whole post?
You need to delete the attachment and not the comments otherwise the attachement is still linked to the post.

I deleted the whole post. Now the files are still in the upload manager, although not attached to any post by its own admission.

Settings -> Misc -> Attachments
Check the box on the right beside the ones you want to delete and hit the delete button in the bottom right.

Thanks for telling me where, that helped....I can now delete anything which has been attached. But I still have a problem: Three large zip files which I deleted the posts to are not listed on that page, but are still stuck in the upload manager. Since they're by far the largest files, they're also the ones I need to delete the most.

When I query (in the manager) the source, it says "The following errors occurred: This asset is not currently being used by any content that you have access to". I think this means that the post still exists in the code even though I deleted it; I know admins can still see deleted posts.

Yup you need to remove the attachment link to the post before delete, that is what I was talking about before.
I will see what I can do.

Alright I deleted those zip files.
You should really be using a file hosting site and linking to that, the attachment system is not intended to be a hosting site.
