Hello,

I am using a local storage directory for files and images. Can I safely delete all files in it ?
Of course they won’t be accessible through the Mattermost interface (404-error-like ?).
My question is : are they any other side effects ?

Note that I am not asking for a feature (I already voted for this on uservoice a long time ago). I am looking for a workaround because the feature is not implemented today.
I totally understand that Mattermost developers don’t want to implement the feature (because of a business plan, because of other priorities, lack of time…). But I don’t want to add “unlimited” local storage or pay for amazon service for “old files forgotten by all” :stuck_out_tongue:

Thank you for your feedbacks.
Regards.
