Deleting attachments from deleted accounts
-
What tool is used to delete attachments from /var/lib once an account has been removed in LDAP?
I just removed 5 accounts. I then ran the db-remove-unreferenced-attachments.pl script, but the attachments for those users still exist.
What else needs to be done?
-
Interestingly enough, I ran the command again and it found 20-30 unreferenced attachments. Then I ran it again, and it found some more. Same thing a third time. So … what gives? How do I just run this once and get ALL the unreferenced attachments deleted at one time, and is there any other way to close out an e-mail account fully?
-
I also ran db-remove-orphaned-attachments command. It gave this output:
Finding all orphaned attachments…
Processing 4240 orphaned attachments
Cleaning singleinstances…
Cleaning lob…
Flush database changes to disk…
Done.However, a GREP on the directory STILL shows attachments in the name of accounts which have been deleted. And the disk size didn’t change based on a “du” check of the folder.

If you delete a user, the store belonging to.the user becomes orphaned. You have to delete the orphan with kopano-cli/kopano-admin.
-
Yes, I know. That’s already been done. I’m wanting to know about the attachments which apparently aren’t deleted even after the store is deleted. Any thoughts on those?
-
Then, there must still be a reference to it.
-
We run a script which deletes the userid from LDAP and then searches for the store and removes it. That’s done all at one time. Where could there possibly still be a reference to a non-existent store? I’m just trying to clean up GB of disk space.
-
When you are using LMTP then attachments in mails delivered to multiple recipients are just stored once on disk, but referenced from multiple mailboxes.
Its not a reference to a store, but a reference to the attachment i am talking about.

Will have to do more digging on some of the attachments referenced and see. Thanks.
