Best way to remove old styles #164
Description
What is the best way to remove old styles from s3 for an attachment? Is there a build in way to do this? For example, in s3, an attachment currently has thumbnail, standard, original, and zoom. However, on the model, I have removed the standard style. When I run the reprocess command on the attachment, I was hoping the standard style would be deleted from s3, but that doesn't seem to be happening.
Is there a way to do this using the library or do I have to manually remove the old files?

The reprocess command doesn't remove old styles because it has no way of knowing what was (previously) there. If you wanna build a command specifically for removing an old style I'll help you get it cleaned up and merged in, but it needs to be for the laravel-stapler repo. I'm working on a 2.0 release that I could add this to if it doesn't get done now. I've gotta ask though; If you just have a single style that you want to remove, why not just remove those images (in the
standardfolder) using the AWS console?flyingL123 commentedon Aug 9, 2016
Ok, I will try to find some time to build that command. I think your question is assuming that all of the
standardstyle images are in a single folder. That's not how the files are organized. They are first partitioned by id, then the different style directories are within that. In other words:There are hundreds of images, so I would need to go into every id folder and delete the standard directory.
