Looking for a thread on removing old files from FTP

[KP123]

Hi all

I hope someone can help me!

I saw a post here recently about removing old files by looking at the dates of modification. Does anyone know where it is???

I am assuming that to remove old gif files I just republish all my pages and the gif files with an old date on them can be removed? Does that make sense?

Thanks guys -you are the best!

You can delete files from the ftp area of BV & the files are more recognizable this way as it looks like windows. NOTE: don’t do what I did & had a folder accidentally highlighted as you don’t get a second chance when deleting OUCH!. You may be better of doing this through c panel as the file go into a deleted file bin that you can retrieve if a mistake is made.
Would be nice if the file area in c panel was more like windows with dates & alike.

I've had to delete some files that I no longer needed
and they were 'sizey', so I used C panel. It came
in handy when I accidentally deleted one .jpg that
I needed on my index page! I just pulled it out of the
trash, and moved it back into index. Just don't get
into the habbit of emptying the trash bucket too soon!
