python - How to delete old image when update ImageField?

Question

I'm using Django to create a stock photo site, I have an ImageField in my model, the problem is that when the user updates the image field, the original image file isn't deleted from the hard disk.

How can I delete the old images after an update?

Answer 1

Use django-cleanup

pip install django-cleanup

settings.py

INSTALLED_APPS = (
    ...
    'django_cleanup.apps.CleanupConfig', # should be placed after your apps

)
