Remove destroyed files

Hi,
I was wondering if the manual optimization is the only way of removing destroyed files from disk?
If so, is there any how that process can be scheduled using code?
The built in scheduled optimization does not remove destroyed files from disk as I understand.

Thanks in advance.

  • I tried a couple of years ago to find an automated solution. No such luck.

    The trick would be to schedule a "Optimize Database (Thorough)". AFAIK there is nothing available in M-Files. There probably are third party tools somewhere capable of doing this.

    You would have to be rather careful with timing when setting the schedule to avoid conflicts with active users, backup procedures, automatic update procedures and other activities running in M-Files, in SQL or on the Windows Server.

    I have settled for a manual procedure every 3 - 6 months until a reasonable solution shows up. But there certainly are better ways to spent late evenings!
