How to permanently delete image?

Meta Forum Help

Hi,

accidentally I wanted to paste some lines of code, but I pasted a screencopy. Although I didn't post the wrong message, the Image can still be accessed via direct link to tdiscourse-cloud-file-uploads.s3.dualstack.us-west-2.amazonaws.com . How can it be removed permanently?

Hi @JSONata - good question. I can't find a definitive answer in the discourse forum help guide. There is a clean-up task that runs to remove uploads that are not referenced in any posts - but only after 48 hours. Is that sufficient?

Yeah thats sufficient. I'll take a look in 3 days to verify that the image is really gone. Thanks for helping so fast.

Can confirm, Image is now gone. But I think it took a bit longer than 48 hours.
