It's difficult to track uploaded files, this is why files are placed ina folder names after the user and the date and time are appended to theupload to help sort the files via FTP.

If you do a search there are many, many topics on this subject.

Is there any way to configure the forum so that all the files that where attached to a speccific post are allso deleted when the post is deleted?? I think this should be possible to do.
 
On the other hand I have the same problem when sombody starts a post, makes uploads, but finaly does not "realy post" the post. In this case the uploaded files stay in the server, allthough they will never be used. But I gess this problem is much more difficult to resolve, since I can not quite imagin how the forum could control this if for example the user directly closes the browser. Any way some basic things could be controled, for example I think that if the user clics on "Clear Form" all images and files uploaded for that post should be deletet from the server. I realy don't know if it is allso possible to control all ways of exiting the "post_message_form.asp" with asp code (like an OnExit event), but if something like that exists, it would be a great chance to control if the user confirmed the post or not, and if not, to delete the uploaded files.
 
Well, may be I am being to pretentious.. Embarrassed.. but I hope the idear is taken in consideration..
 
Regards..
