What are all the files that are in the folder /media/com_easydiscuss/config? This folder keeps growing larger every day. Can these files be deleted or must they be saved permanently? If they are not important then you should create a function to delete them when they are no longer needed. And also in media/foundry/3.1/config? We are using subversion for version control and I need to know what to do with these files.
Hey Sarah,

Actually these json/js files is generated from the Easydiscuss settings import/export and other script stuff.

Yes, it would be safe you remove these json/js files from /media/com_easydiscuss/config || /media/foundry/3.1/config

We will see if we can improve this in the future.

No problem Sarah By the way, you can also click on the "Clear Cache" button on EasyDiscuss back end to purge them rather than deleting them manually.

This didn't work, it only removed some .less styling. You can see the files in the media folder are still there.

Hey Sarah,

Hm, it should actually purge those .js and .json files too. Will check on this.
