    "FileUploads" folder fills up my disk space

    Using Umbraco 7

    Hi,

    I'm running Umbraco 7.2.2 on an Azure Cloud Instance, and we're uploading massive amounts of media files to it - mp3s, videos etc.

    My problem is that the "App_Data\Temp\FileUploads" is rapidly filling up the small amount of local storage we have on that instance (around 700-800Mb) and I have to manually clear that data or else the site crashes!

    Is there supposed to be an automated process that clears this folder out? Could it be a permissions thing that is preventing this process from running?

    I'm using the rather awesome UmbracoAzureBlobStorage package to store my uploaded media in Azure Storage, and thought it could be a problem with that but I haven't seen any references to that folder in the source code which is why I'm thinking it's something to do with the Umbraco core code...

    Thanks,

    Maff

    Hi,

    This is still causing problems for me, and I could really do with sorting it out before I hand the project over...

    Is there something in the core that is meant to clear down this directory and is there any reasons why it wouldn't work? (App Pool identity etc?)

    Thanks,

    Maff

    For anyone who is facing a similar issue, I've added a workaround to my project for this. I'm intercepting the MediaService.Saved event and adding this code to my custom method:

    DirectoryInfo fileUploadFolder = new DirectoryInfo(ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["FileUploadFolder"]);

IEnumerable<FileInfo> files = fileUploadFolder.GetFiles().Where(x => x.CreationTimeUtc < DateTime.UtcNow.AddMinutes(-2));

foreach (FileInfo file in files)
{
  try
  {
    file.Delete();
  }
  catch (Exception ex)
  {
    LogHelper.Error<string>("File Delete Error", ex);
  }
}

    Works fine (as long as your application has write access to the file system).

    Thanks,
