Hi All, Does anyone know when uncommitted uploads are actually deleted from the server? When you upload a file with a!fileUpload, we know files get saved to some temporary location until the are committed to destination via a process model. What happens to the file if it's uploaded and the form is never submitted, and user leaves the task?

Hi Jims419,

Please go through a!fileUploadField() notes in Appian documentation. Provided solutions to lot of scenarios.

For your query below is the answer.

a!fileUploadField() Notes:

If a file is uploaded to a form that is never submitted, the temporary file is automatically deleted after thirty days.

i assume that the uncommitted uploads means,
file is uploaded via file upload component in a form and is not submitted. in that case temporary file will be automatically deleted after thirty days.
docs.appian.com/.../File_Upload_Component.html
