What happens to hard deleted files?

omkar — Thu, 05 Feb 2015 09:12:20 GMT

I am using Alfreso 4.2 on JBoss and Redhat OS. Since Alfresco is a version control system, what happens to hard deleted files? I have observed that even if I remove huge files from Alfresco web console and clean it from the "Manage Deleted Items", then still the space does not get free on the drive.

The content store cleaner should run each night and remove any orphaned (un-needed) files.

Hi mrogers. When I delete files from Alfresco they do not appear in the ".deleted" folder. I am not sure why this happens. But if the contents are not residing in the ".deleted" folder after deleting, then even if we run content store cleaner, it will not help. Request you to help if I can do some more steps.
