Delete attachments in upload file

Hi, I have a customer who receives a lot of attachments every day, which over the years accumulate to several GB. Is it possible to get Gravity form to delete attachments that are more than 1 year old, for example ?
Thanks !

My group is working on a Gravity add-on that offers two new functions for entries: archive and slice.

Archive = sends the entry to a separate database table so that it’s no longer in gf_entries and gf_entry_meta. Some of our sites have thousands of entries, which causes a huge performance hit over time. Of course, it’s possible to unarchive entries, too.

Slice = same as above but also deletes attachments.

This is not yet ready for widespread distribution, but I’ll get back to you when it is. In the meantime, a crude but effective method would be to browse to your Gravity Forms upload folders and simply sort the files by date to be purged manually.

Best regards,
Rob

With Entry Automation, you can target entries submitted within a certain date range and delete select fields from an entry.

This would let you, for instance, target all entries that are at least a year old and delete any files uploaded to any of the file upload fields on the form.

Thanks for your solution, but it’s a pain to have to buy extension plugins :). I’m looking for a solution without that ideally.

yes, it’s true and simple ! Thanks !
