Sniperboy Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 Tried to do a search but can't seem to find the answer. I am trying to delete some old attachments but I can't seem to. I tried clicking MY ATTACHMENTS on the top right of the page on my USERID, but it seems like the thread (an old for sale ad) has been deleted already so I have no access to it. I am just trying to clear up space and bandwidth for posting pics. Thanks for your time and if this has been addressed before and I missed it - I apologize.

pmd Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 Does anyone know how to delete your old Attachments? Trying to post a WTS - but says I have reached my quota and need to "Manage Attachments to free up space" I have pictures going back to 2010 and they are no longer needed and will be happy to free up space.. Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ima45dv8 Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 I'm not seeing anything in my own profile for managing attachments/storage, either. Can you post some examples of pictures you'd like to delete here? I can do an system-level removal to see if that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EEH Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 Under my name EEH click and manage attachment is there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ima45dv8 Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 Ahhh... The drop-down menu under my user name in my profile. Thanks! (I rarely go into my own profile, so I forgot to check there ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EEH Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 Still don’t see how to delete them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ima45dv8 Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 It may still be best to have Paul post some examples for me to delete. What you don't have as options is probably different than what is displayed for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmd Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 ima45dv8, Here's a screen shot from page page 4 of "My attachments" which one can find by clicking the down arrow next to their name at top right - I circled it here. On this page I cannot find a way to delete any of the attachments.. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChuckS Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 FWIW, I see the same thing as pmd. I can view and sort, but not delete. I have yet to find any menu that will allow deletion. Perhaps it is a forum option or related the the expiration of edit capability? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either post here, or send me a PM, with links to some attachments you think you can live without and let me use my mystical, God-like powers to delete them. Then we can see if that helps reduce what the system sees are your "allowance". Thanks... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only trying to delete as I got an automated message saying I was over my limit and needed to manage attachments. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrumpyOne Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 All who are having this issue, please reply with what browser/device you are using. Per the forum, no one should be seeing a message that they are out of space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BritinUSA Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 I think the attachments get automatically deleted if the post where they were used is deleted (ie. the attachment is orphaned). The only thing I can think of that might allow the attachment to be deleted is to access the post where it was used (it’s shown under the attachment in the My Attachments page) and edit it to remove the attachment. However, if there is a time limit imposed to prevent edits on old posts then it won’t work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
