How to delete files from tempdirectory?

Reply Quote

New to AjaxUploader.

I was able to do args.MoveTo in C# and that got rid of the file I uploaded in the tempdirectory and saved it permanently somewhere else. But that isn't what I need in the long term.

How do I clear out the temp directory, or better yet, how do I delete a file from the tempdirectory once I've uploaded it, used it, resized it, and saved it in a permanent place? My tempdirectory just keeps growing. I'd like to be able to delete the uploaded temp file from my code once I'm done w/ it.

I tried args.delete in FileUploaded and args[0].delete in UploadCompleted but both times got error that file was being used by another process. I'm assuming it's my own process isn't ready to release it and therefore this is not the way to physically delete the file I just uploaded?? Should I be using the Dispose event?

THANKS.

Debbie

Debbie,

Ajax Uploader automatically maintain this temp folder. All temp files will be deleted.

We compare the current time with the File.GetLastWriteTime. Regular temp files will be deleted 5 minutes later. Persisted temp files will be deleted 360 minutes later.

After 360 minutes if some one uses the uploader, uploader will delete the expired files. If nobody uses the uploader, the expired files will stay there.

If you have concerns abouy temp files, you can write some code and delete the temp files yourself.

Thanks so much. I tested this and it's perfectly true!! My uploaded temp files are all the persisted files so they hang around for 6 hrs. How do I take that off so they will purge quicker?

Is there a way to make the temp files uploaded regular temp files instead of persisted temp files?

THANKS

In Ajax Uploader, code is encapsulated and you cannot update the 6 hr time interval parameter.
