Add a feature to remove data images from HDD #535

Closed Neustradamus closed 1 year ago

Neustradamus commented 1 year ago

Dear @fogproject team,

When we delete an or several images from "Image Management", the image data folders on the HDD are not removed.

Can you add a feature to remove the image data folder? For example, with a checkbox and a "Are you sure? Yes or No" window dialog box?

Thanks in advance.

PS : Do not forget all previous images already deleted from Fog user interface which are always here on the HDD.

There's a "Delete files" checkbox when deleting an image. Perhaps you're using an old version?

@Quazz: When it has been added?

@Neustradamus This has been in FOG for a very long time, maybe ever since it was released, I am not sure.

I am sure we don't want to do this. Deleting data is up to the server administrator, not us!
