   I don't know bash well enough, unfortunately.

     That would probably be much faster.

     And easier with bash than using a real language

     That could be easy and IO intensive. Have to query each user and backup the file. Maybe simple bash script like with my blockbot

     Well, the idea that I have would be to pull each user's information (I think the admin API returns a JSON object with the links to users' avatars and banners), stick those filenames in to an array as to not delete, then delete everything else, or everything uploaded beyond a certain date.

     Oh good to know. Or just copy the user avatar from the json object to a temp dir, delete everything , and copy back the avatars to make it quick and easy

     How large does it grow daily?

     Not too badly. It's the uploads that grow faster. I submitted a git issue to restructure the media directory in the future so purging old assets doesn't cause problems with avatars, banners, icons, et cetera.

     Good work, that is needed badly. You will probably still need to purge the avatars once at least

     If it doesn't get resolved by the time it becomes a bigger issue for us, I'll probably just make a script to purge old media using JavaScript and some API calls.

     As our database grows, I'll have to move it over to a larger storage medium. Expect downtime in the future when I do that. Won't be for the next few weeks or so, most likely.
