Orphaned files

[Bill Tantzen]

I have recently discovered a significant number of files in my assetstore directory that do not have a corresponding record in the bitstream table.

As.such, I'm pretty sure I can go ahead and delete them to free up disk space.  But every bone in my body tells me not to touch anything in the assetstoredir before I'm *absolutely* sure it's safe to do so.  Anybody else care to weigh in on this -- and to take a guess as to how this happens in the first place?

Cheers, and thanks for your opinion!

~~ Bill

Hi Bill,

normally the command line clean job would remove these type of orphan files for you.

Have you tried this & are these files that are not even removed with /bin/dspace cleanup ?
