Upload location for data

Tani · 2025-04-17T15:43:19.280Z

The upload folder on my machine is around 58GB and the library is around 500gb, shouldn't the upload folder serve just a temp location until files are processed? I have enabled Storage Templates and run the job to migrate the files.

Yeah, so there used to be an issue where interrupted uploads would not be cleaned up. Now they are, but prior to about 3 months ago they were not. You can run the storage template job, verify there are no errors then safely remove everything else in upload

T

TaniOP•4/17/25, 3:51 PM

Yeah so when I run the storage template job nothing gets logged, does that mean that there are no errors?

S

schuhbacca•4/17/25, 3:52 PM

Yes. Just make sure you have backups, but you shoudl be able to safely delete everything i n upload now

T

TaniOP•4/17/25, 3:58 PM
