Hi,

does anybody know how to remove the attachment of a post?

I just want to be kind with TGC, freeing some server space, since files are also on my web.

Yes, I've also edited other users posts with a removed.txt to get rid of attachments and haven't had any problems!

So it seems, but if the browser is loading the website and the option isn't there ... what else could it be?

Oh, something not displaying could be a browser issue, but something not working wouldn't. I guess I read that wrong

Ok, the reason for not being able to delete a file could simply be because someone is downloading that file at the same moment that the person editing is trying to delete it. The file is probably locked when in use.

That's the easiest explanation to me, I haven't tried to delete it again.

What exactly doesn't work? It doesn't give you the upload option or the file just isn't replaced?
