FileField no longer deletes files
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Deleting a model doesn't delete associated files
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In earlier Django versions, when a model instance containing a
:class:`~django.db.models.FileField` was deleted,
:class:`~django.db.models.FileField` took it upon itself to also delete the
file from the backend storage. This opened the door to several data-loss
scenarios, including rolled-back transactions and fields on different models
referencing the same file. In Django 1.3, :class:`~django.db.models.FileField`
will never delete files from the backend storage. If you need cleanup of
orphaned files, you'll need to handle it yourself (for instance, with a custom
management command that can be run manually or scheduled to run periodically
via e.g. cron).
referencing the same file. In Django 1.3, when a model is deleted the
:class:`~django.db.models.FileField`'s
:func:`~django.db.models.FileField.delete` method won't be called. If you
