Delete unused media files from Django project

Package provides management command cleanup_unused_media for Django applications.

You can remove all not used media files (files without references from any Django model with FileField or ImageField fields or their inheritances).

Installation

1. Install django-unused-media:

   pip install django-unused-media
   

   Python 2.7, 3.6, 3.7, pypy are tested with tox.

   Django 1.8, 1.9, 1.10, 1.11, 2.0, 2.1, 2.2, 3.0 are tested with tox.

2. Add django-unused-media to INSTALLED_APPS:

   INSTALLED_APPS = (
       ...
       'django_unused_media',
       ...
   )
   

Usage

To cleanup all unused media files, run management command:

./manage.py cleanup_unused_media

By default command is running in interactive mode. List of files which are going to be removed will be displayed for confirmation. User has to confirm the action.

Options

--noinput, --no-input

Non interactive mode. Command will remove files without any confirmation from the user. Useful for scripts.

./manage.py cleanup_unused_media --noinput

-e, --exclude

To avoid operating on particular files you can use exclude option.

• * as any symbol is supported.
• Can use multiple options in one command.

For example, to keep .gitignore and *.png files you can use:

./manage.py cleanup_unused_media -e *.gitignore -e *.png

Also you can exclude entire folder or some files in that folder (path should be relative to settings.MEDIA_ROOT):

./manage.py cleanup_unused_media -e path/to/dir/* -e path/to/dir/my*.doc

--minimum-file-age, seconds

Default = 60 (one minute)

Minimum file age to consider for cleanup. All files younger this age will be skipped.

--remove-empty-dirs

By default script keeps empty dirs in media folder. But with this option all empty directories will be removed after cleaning process automatically.

--dry-run

Dry run without any affect on your data

--verbosity {0,1,2}, -v {0,1,2}

Verbosity level.

• 0 - silent
• 1 - normal output (default)
• 2 - verbose output (list individual files)
