As stated in title. Deleting files that don't have markdown or wikilinks can be dangerous in some situations.

In my case I use obsidian-banners which requires the attachment to be referenced in the file frontmatter.

I'm using RainCat1998/obsidian-custom-attachment-location plugin that creates a folder associated with the note an image is pasted in. I've used your plugin and it works great, though it would be cool if it can get rid of the empty folders left behind too.

Please add an option to turn off the deletion of unused attachments.
I skimmed over this in the summary and paid dearly for it. There are important reasons for having media and other files that are not yet attached to obsidian. It's a good thing I had a backup to restore from, but even that took quite some time.
It is really handy to have the ability to cull out empty notes and files so that part of this plug-in is valuable, but without the ability to selectively disable the deletion of media files, I'm going to delete this plug-in.

Hi, is it possible to have this plugin act on orphaned excalidraw drawings too?
I'll often find my Excalidraw folder filling up with old or empty drawings over time and it'd be nice to have them cleaned up automatically somehow. This might be an issue better suited for the Excalidraw plugin though.

It deleted a large number of my files that were in use, which is very scary.。

Thank you for your good work in this plugin!

I wonder if the user can type down the excluded folders that the file cleaning does not touch.

Hi @Johnson0907

Nice idea for a plugin! Just want to throw out a word of caution: due to this (as far as I know still unrersolved) bug, Mac users might want to be extra careful when using it.

Hi, any opportunity to have an option to run file cleaner when opening Obsidian (or closing?)

Blue Topaz theme support image link like ![[xxx.png#position|captions|size]]，use this grammar I can arrange image position and size more flexible。

But when i call "File cleaner" plugin,this will delete these image.

It'd be handy to be able to preview which files get cleaned and then a button to confirm it. That way one doesn't have to worry that files get removed which shouldn't be removed.

Obviously this could also be an opt-in flag or something to not disrupt the flow of existing users which don't want to have that :)

Just wondering what the status of this plugin is.

There have been no updates since April 1st 2022.

I've tried reaching out to @Johnson0907 on Discord as well to try to get some updates.

If all else fails, I do have a fork which incorporates some of the features that are requested.
https://github.com/husjon/obsidian-file-cleaner-redux

Some of the features are documented in the following pull request: husjon/obsidian-file-cleaner-redux#1

Hoping to add more over the next few days / weeks.

Hi，

If using the admonition plugin, use the following code to reference the image. The image is actually referenced, but will be treated as unreferenced, resulting in accidental deletion.

Looking forward to your reply!
Best regards.

I find this plugin only has an option for excluding folders. Actually, I only want to delete files in the attachment folder. I'm hoping you can add such an option. That will be really helpful. Thanks!

With the obsidian new "canvas" feature, attachments referenced in the "canvas" will be deleted as unused attachments.

Hello,

Would it be possible to have an option to filter by file-type?

The use case is that I have pdf I do not want to delete, no matter whether they are linked or not -- a contrario, I would like to only target .jpg or .png.

Thank you,

I don't use the ribbon (keep it hidden), so It would help me if you added a command for this (in the command palette).

Thank you.
