Command to remove unused media files

Akeneo Purge Media Files Bundle

IMPORTANT: Do not use this bundle in the Akeneo PIM Enterprise Edition (why?)

This bundle comes with a new command to remove unused media files.

Requirements

Version	Akeneo PIM Community Edition	Akeneo PIM Enterprise Edition
2.*	3.0.*	Do not use
1.*	2.3.*	Do not use

Installation

    composer require eikona-media/akeneo-purge-media-files:~2.0

Enable the bundle in the app/AppKernel.php file in the registerProjectBundles() method:

protected function registerProjectBundles()
{
    return [
        // ...
        new EikonaMedia\Akeneo\PurgeMediaFilesBundle\EikonaMediaAkeneoPurgeMediaFilesBundle(),
    ];
}

Usage

To remove unused media files execute the command eikona-media:media:purge-files.
The command has one option: --force. If you omit the option the command runs in safe mode (no files will be deleted).

The command searches for media files in the catalog storage directory (Akeneo parameter: catalog_storage_dir) for files, which:

• do not have an entry in akeneo_file_storage_file_info
• do have an entry in akeneo_file_storage_file_info but are not used in any product or product model (in this case the command also removes the entity)

Why not to use in the Akeneo PIM Enterprise Edition

• The Akeneo PIM Enterprise Edition has the asset management (so we probably dont want to delete unsued files)
• The Akeneo PIM Enterprise Edition has proposals (which the command does not search through)
• The Akeneo PIM Enterprise Edition can restore old product versions (which the command does not search through)
