Where are the files stored? How to delete them?

I notice that the files are stored on the server.

Why is this and is there an easy way to temove them?

Also what is the maximum file size that can be sent?

Thanks in advance

Hi AprilFloyd,

The files are stored on the served because people like to have files stored on the server??? If you don't then you can probably hack the code so they are not stored.

The easiest way to delete them is to FTP into the uploads folder and delete them.

I'm afraid that I've no idea what the maximum size is.

Thanks for the quick reply.

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 20971520 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 3873983 bytes)... on line 308

I get the above error and trying to find the best solution, the file I uploaded is 3MB

Hi April Floyd,

That's a server error message looks as though it's maxed out around 20Mb - I don't know why you'd use that much memory handling a 3Mb file though.

PHP does have memory limits and file-size limits set - check the PHPinfo in your site info tab.

where is the site info tab

Hi AprilFloyd,

Depends which version of Joomla you are using. In 1.0.x it's System | System Info; in Joonla 1.5 it's Help | System Info
