Frequently asked questions about Community Central.


 * Why are unused files not cleaned up?

UnusedFiles is a minefield. Files that get uploaded on Community Central are used in many ways, and a lot of them are uploaded by Staff or by admins who place them on global templates. Files are 'unused' when they are hotlinked/linked inline using the full address. There are also issues in the unused files listing when a file is placed in a  tag. Therefore, it takes a lot of effort clearing these files, and traditional Dev scripts will always cause problems.
