(SOLVED) Safe to delete attachments from Filesystem?

[bayerex]

Hi,

I use 3.1.3 on a Windows server and already I have configured attachments to be stored in the file system. However I would like to delete all attachments over a year old from tickets.

If I write a batch file and have it run from Windows' scheduler is it completely safe to do this? Will it corrupt the ticket in any way when it is surely still refering to an attachment path in the database?

Greetings!

you can delete the attachments quite safely, you'll might have dead links to attachments in the tickets. You'll also will loose all HTML formattings
