how to delete attachments from archived threads?

#1

G’day there,

I’ve got some attachments in some older threads, threads which have now been closed. I’m rapidly running out of attachment space and was hoping to free some up by deleting these old images. It seems as though as soon as a thread is closed then nothing within it can be edited anymore.

Can a moderator please suggest how I go about deleting these old attachments that I no longer want or need?

Cheers,

So far as I know there is no way to do this at present. If you can tell me which threads you have attachments which you want to delete, I’ll take a look at them for you.

Hey there,

I don’t know why but it always makes me chuffed to see any aussie making a go of it in 3D, so keep up the good work.

If you could please delete all of my attachments from this thread then that would be fantastic:

I guess once the thing is archived everything is locked, maybe I should just keep my attachments more organised in future, I just thought they’d be useful for others to keep online, didn’t realise once it was archived that I’d still have to deal with the storage limitation.

I hope you can free up some space for me.

Cheers,

I’ve removed those three which has cleared up a little space.

#5

Thanks for that mate, is there any chance you could remove the rest? I don’t need them anymore and I like to keep things organised.

#6

Send me the links to the other threads with attachments you want deleted.

Here you go.

Thank you very much for doing this for me.

Done…

Since I’ve written support twice on this and had no response (I think this has been an issue for at least a year) would you please be so kind as to delete all of my attachments from 2007-2006? Thanks!

#10

Done…

#11

That’s great- ah so much more posting room now! I was really trying my hardest to cram render tree screen caps into 4 color gifs…

Thank you!

Hi I want to delete some of mine too.

And is there any way to delete my account?

Thank you

These are not forum attachments. I cannot delete them.

The only way to “delete” your account is to remove all of your personal information from your profile.

#14

Khendar,

I would like to confirm this information: if I remove all my personal information from my profile it will be deleted, as well as all the threads I started and images I have uploaded. Correct?

Is this the only way to delete an account? Because I didn’t find this information elsewhere.

#15

Hello, is there anybody in there??? Could someone please answer my previous post?

I don’t want to remove all the personal information of my profile (the “only way” to delete an account, as you said) if the images I uploaded to the challenges won’t be deleted and will mantain my real name on them.

I want all my images deleted, please.

I’m waiting for your reply…

#16

sepphora: If you get rid of your personal information from your profile then I can remove your challenge threads so your images will no longer be shown.

#17

Khendar:

I tried to remove my name but the message was shown:
“You have not completed the required field “Name”.”

And when I tried to remove my email:
“You have not completed all of the required fields: username, password, and email address.”

How is the “right way” to remove my personal information?

Could you please remove my images? That’s the main thing that is bothering me. If I can’t delete my account, I will just stop using it.

#18

Yes these are required fields, so if you want to remove your information you will have to put a period or dash or something so that they are not empty.

I have removed your challenge threads.

#19

Thank you Khendar.

#20

Khendar, sorry but I just found out that these pages, although they don’t appear in my profile, they are still online with my name. Could you please delete them?
