Deleting a Stored Attachment

Note: This feature is available only to administrators.

A stored attachment is created when a user adds a new attachment to a product by uploading the attachment file to the server. (See Editing a Product's Attachments for details.) When this happens, the attachment is added to the Manage Attachments Stored on the Server page.

This page provides a central location where you can manage these attachments and see all products where each is assigned. When you delete a stored attachment here, its file is deleted from your server and the attachment is removed from every product where it is assigned.

Note: If a stored attachment's file is simply in need of an update, consider updating its file. This may be more efficient than deleting the attachment, defining a new attachment in its place, and re-assigning the attachment to all desired products.

To delete a stored attachment:

Starting at the Manage Attachments Stored on the Server page (How do I get there?), do the following:

  1. Find the stored attachment you want to delete and click its delete () icon.

    A message asks for confirmation.

  2. To confirm, click Delete.

    The attachment is deleted from the server and removed from all products where it is assigned.
