Deleting files from a server 2

[keepingbusy]

Hi all

Firstly, apologies if this is the wrong forum but I would be grateful for some direction where to post it if it's not.

I am trying to find out if there is a way to delete certain files from a server via phpmyadmin or some other way.

Everyday, we upload some CSV files via phpmyadmin and also upload some related images to those CSV files that contain music data. The images are the covers for the titles and all the processing and conversion is done via a Visual Foxpro 9 custom application.

As the table changes everyday, some of the images are no longer required and if not deleted, will start filling up our space.

The images are named for example 315268243789.jpg (or could be .gif), which relates to a UPC number or barcode. The list is created from the same VF9 APP (The exported file format can be adapted to any type e.g. txt, csv, tab etc).

The scenario we are trying to achieve is to create the new list (no problem), then run a piece of code that will remove the "no longer required" images from the server.

If you need any further information, please let me know.

Sorry it was long winded guys, but I hope you understand what I mean.

Many thanks

Hi Dave

Just an update on this thread. After some research it appears that the hosting package used for the website was restricted to the amount of files that could be uploaded at anyone time, hence the problems.

A new "package" has been obtained from the hosting company which gives unlimited uploads / access etc so when the package goes live, everything should be ok. This also includes unlimited bandwidth as the website will be on a dedicated server.

If there are any future problems I'll post back, but in any case, my thanks to those who posted on this thread.
