Delete several attachments at one time

XMLWordPrintable

      Issue Summary

      Please evaluate to add a way to delete attachments from UI in faster way from how it has to be currently done.

      Right now the user can delete only one file at a time. This is not optimal when you have to delete a big amount of attachments.

      Common reasons to delete a big amount of attachments:

      • Downgrade the plan to Standard given that the max allowed storage is 250GB (this limit is not enforced yet)
      • When copying a page: all the attachments are copied as well

      Steps to Reproduce

      1. Create or open a Confluence page
      2. Click the '...' button
      3. Attachments >> Files
      4. Attach several files
      5. Try to delete more files in one time

      Expected Results

      You can delete several files in one time

      Actual Results

      You can only delete one file at one time

      Workaround

      1 - Use REST API as described at this link. For this method you will need to create a script via a programming language (e.g. Python or PHP)

       2- There is a marketplace app which could help:

      Confluence Command Line Interface (CLI)

      3 - Only for Premium/Enterprise: Automation for bulk delete unused attachments across your spaces or entire site
