We have an installation of DNN 5.2.1 and it has worked very well for nearly a year. We do have a problem though. We did not realize the functionality of the "graveyard" until today, when our webserver storage drive ran out of disk space. The is a large amount of files in the graveyard folder, which we will never need to recover and would like to delete. Is there a way to empty the graveyard folder in DNN 5.2.1? if so, would someone here please explain the steps required to do so? Thanks for your help!

In your situation the simplest/quickest way is to delete the files on the server's hard disk (portals/[id]/DMX/Graveyard). In later versions of DMX there is a script to empty the graveyard (Admin > Scripts) and a setting to not use the graveyard (Main Options). Peter

About Bring2mind

Bring2mind is the company of Peter Donker, a DotNetNuke enthusiast who has been involved with the platform from the very beginning. At the same time as the market for modules emerged, he realized there was no good document management solution for the platform yet and he set about creating this. In part he based the module on his experience with other document management systems he used while working as a researcher. His module, Document Exchange, was an instant success and has since become the premier document management solution for DotNetNuke. In 2004 he created Bring2mind as a vehicle for the module and is one of the few successful businesses solely based on a DotNetNuke product.
