Re: Question on group photos


 

InkkFreakk,

... in both of my groups I deleted what there was, then disabled
photos. But it didn't stop the groups from storing them anyway ...
Sounds like the Emailed Photos album at work.

I want to delete all of those photos, what is the easiest and quickest
way to do that?
Note that each photo in Emailed Photos is tied to the message it arrived with (there's only one copy of the image, shown in both places). There's a blue Message button under the photo that will take you to the corresponding message.

Consequently if you delete the photo from Emailed Photos it will also disappear from the message in the Messages section. Likewise, if you delete the photo from the message, or delete the message, it will disappear from Emailed Photos.

... and now in one group I have almost 7000 and my storage is way over
the limit.
...
I don't want to store any photos in either group, I only use files in
group..
If the site will let you delete the Emailed Photos album that might do the trick, temporarily. I'd expect it to be re-created and start refilling once new messages with photos arrive.

There is an Out of Space option, in the Message Policies section of your group's Settings page, to automatically delete old attachments when the group is out of space. Given your experience perhaps a suggestion should be made that the function include Emailed Photos (actually, I thought it did, but your experience apparently contradicts that).

There have been some discussions in beta about ways to bulk delete and otherwise manage the buildup of Emailed Photos.
