Re: FileField delete and update handling

You could remember the old path by saving it as a variable in your
model's __init__ function.

Something like this:

self._old_file_path = self.file_path

Then in your save():

#only if there was a non-blank path to begin with, and it changed
if self._old_file_path and ( self._old_file_path != self.file_path):

os.remove(self._old_file_path

I don't know if this is the best possible solution, but it would
guarantee that this would happen automatically from the admin and your
ModelForms without any extra code.
