    pip install django-unused-media
    

    Python 2.7, 3.5, 3.6, PyPy are tested with tox.

    )

Usage

To cleanup all unused media files, run management command:

./manage.py cleanup_unused_media

By default command is running in interactive mode. List of files which are going to be removed will be displayed for confirmation. User have to confirm the action.

Options

--noinput, --no-input

Non interactive mode. Command will remove files without any confirmation from user. Useful for scripts.

./manage.py cleanup_unused_media --noinput

-e, --exclude

To avoid operating on particular files you can use exclude option.

  • * as any symbol is supported.

For example, to keep .gitignore and *.png files you can use:

./manage.py cleanup_unused_media -e *.gitignore -e *.png

./manage.py cleanup_unused_media -e path/to/dir/* -e path/to/dir/my*.doc
