Re: Delete the file related on the FileField

Hi Karim,

You can do:

from django.db.models.signals import pre_delete

from django.dispatch.dispatcher import receiver

@receiver(pre_delete, sender=ModelName)

def modelname_delete(sender, instance, **kwargs):

    instance.field_name.delete(False)

or on your model you can write your delete method:

def delete(self, *args, **kwargs):

        self.field_name.storage.delete(self.field_name.path)

        return super(ModelName, self).delete(*args, **kwargs)

Best regards,

Rodrigo Zayit

I'm using a form that get an image and store it in the database. Doing my (manual) tests I discover that the deleting the FileField doesn't remove the associated file on the hard disk. Is there a design pattern to handle the remaining file?

Thank you.
