Hi,
I recently switched from local to S3 for avatars, files & photos and then ended up migrating the site and also changing the bucket name as well as deleting all local media on the server. I managed to totally screw everything up and to get it all back I manually uploaded all the media to the server and to S3. Now it's working, but on the server ALL the photos are still there. I assume because the cron already detects them on S3 it takes no action and leaves them on the server instead of deleting them. I would like to delete all these local files, I don't care about image rotation (will hide it through CSS). Question:
1) Will the cron re-populate my server with the _original photos from S3?
2) Will I break anything by deleting the /avatars/ and /photos/ directory entirely from my server?
Thanks!
