FileField no longer deletes files
|
||||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||
Deleting a model doesn't delete associated files
|
||||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||
|
||||
In earlier Django versions, when a model instance containing a
|
||||
:class:`~django.db.models.FileField` was deleted,
|
||||
:class:`~django.db.models.FileField` took it upon itself to also delete the
|
||||
file from the backend storage. This opened the door to several data-loss
|
||||
scenarios, including rolled-back transactions and fields on different models
|
||||
referencing the same file. In Django 1.3, :class:`~django.db.models.FileField`
|
||||
will never delete files from the backend storage. If you need cleanup of
|
||||
orphaned files, you'll need to handle it yourself (for instance, with a custom
|
||||
management command that can be run manually or scheduled to run periodically
|
||||
via e.g. cron).
