Delete all unused assets seemed to delete from DB but not the actual files #47

Craft 4.9.2 Asset Usage 3.3.0

I ran the CLI to delete all unused assets. It completed and in reviewing the asset manager of the control panel, it all looked good. I reran the index and notice they all came back. Seems the actual files were not deleted. Is there something I should have done or a step I might have missed?

Hi @sg-modlab, the plugin calls Craft::$app->getElements()->deleteElement($asset), same as Craft does, i don't know how the deletion itself works. It is also filesystem specific. You could delete a file manually from the control panel and check if that works differently.

Thanks for the reply and details. I had another team member try the command and saw the same thing as I had and we had same result. Did not actually delete the file. When deleting via the control panel as you suggested, it does delete the file.

Hello, I am the team member Seth mentioned. We ran a couple tests locally, and then tried on a staging environment. We tried on two different sites. In all cases the files were not deleted from our assets folder. We did see that with the Craft command being used, there could be a delay for the files to be deleted. Maybe these are soft deletes? I'm curious with your testing, do you see the files delete immediately, or should we expect a delay?
