I had an issue with the folder ‘dynamic_avia’ inside the uploads folder which was creating lots of new files and taking up a lot of space. I opened up a support ticket earlier and was helped to solve this problem. The solution was to change the settings in Performance to ‘Fix WP Bug, disable unique timestamps’ as well as turn on ‘delete old css and js files’. Now it does not create lots of new files which is good.
I’ve now done this, but I have the problem that all this 6GB of these timestamped files remain on the server. I tried removing them, I downloaded them first to make sure I wasn’t deleting something really important. So then I deleted them from the ‘dynamic_avia’ folder and my site formatting got all screwed up. So I immediately uploaded them all again into the same folder. But it wasn’t until I saved the General Styling page that the website formatting returned to normal.
So my question is this…
Can I delete this folders (dynamic_avia) contents safely without it having some lasting effect on the formatting of the website? If I were to delete it and then save the General Styling page again would this return the formatting back to it’s original state? My goal is to remove this 6GB of space from the server if it doesn’t need to be there.
Thank you!
JamieHi Jamie,
It should be okay to remove the dynamic_avia folder as long as you click on the Save all changes button in the Theme Options which would generate those files (including the dynamic_avia folder).
If you’re hesitant to delete, then you should be able to at least delete those older css and js files and just keep the few recent ones.Best regards,
Nikko
