Deleting old and/or large attachments can be very useful when disk space is becoming scarce. |
| |
Tips: |
| |
  Prior to deleting attachments, check the following Stats at the top of the Task Frame: |
| |
 Total disk space used by attachments (example: 438 Kilobytes in 6 files). |
| |
 Disk Space Limit for Attachments (example 100 Megabytes). |
| |
  You may then decide whether to delete selected attachments, |
| |
 further restrict the size of attachments, or enlarge the Total sisk space allocated to attachments. |
| |
  Please refer to Forum General Configuration section for more on this subject. |
