Hi!
I have the following problem ( I know it's my fault! ;D ):
I have a really big website with tons of content, in the first times I was using wordpress and wpforo I wasn't expert and I made a lot of Forum's post with lot of really heavy attachments ( not compressed images ). Now I have a huge media library with different thousands of images.
Now I'm used to compress images and everything, but I had a lot of Wpfoto attachments really heavy (2.11 GB) that I'd like to delete. Because it's really complicated to search and reach them directly from the media library, I just wanna ask if there's a way to easily recognise WPForo attachments in order to unlink them from the posts and possibly delete them, in this way I can have lighter forum.

Thank you!
Have a nice day 😀

Hi @charmenoir,

Do you use the default file attachment or the Advanced Attachments Addon?

In case you want to say thank you !)
We'd really appreciate and be thankful if you leave a good review on plugin page. This is the best way to say thank you to this project and support team.
