API not deleting attachments

Hi all, hoping someone may be able to assist.

Am using a pipeline to remove attachments using the format of 'fid_14=&delfile_fid_14=1'

The result of this is that whilst the attachment looks to be removed from the form, it still is actually being stored (app file manager shows the attachments still exist).

Has anyone else encountered this or possibly have a solution ?

Cheers in advance.

  • A couple of years ago, there was a bug where if the file attachment was deleted by an API that the File management system  and also your statistics still showed that the file existed and you were consuming space against  your file attachment limits  

    at the time, they definitely fix that bug because I had been working with a client to purge thousands of files attachments and they did fix the bug.  

    If you can actually prove to Quickbase support that that is once again happening then that would be a legitimate bug.
