Does anyone know how to force Joplin to run the unused resources cleanup routine? I just used the web clipper to clip a webpage with almost 1000 icons. I thought they were unicode characters and I wanted a reference note so I could cut and paste but it turns out they are svg files :(. I was able t…

Yes, there is: jnrmor (you won't need the other script) [image] Scripts to remove orphaned resources Apps Please note that these scripts will become obsolete in the future, when the resource bugs are fixed! A word of caution: I use the scripts myself and haven’t experien…

Or the following perl script has a --weed option. sciurius/perl-Joplin-API/blob/master/script/listnotes.pl #!/usr/bin/perl -w # List notes, hierarchically. # Author : Johan Vromans # Created On : Fri Mar 8 09:39:46 2019 # Last Modified By: Johan Vromans # Last Modified On: …

Thank you very much tessus, I will have a look at the scripts now. Will these scripts just remove the resources or will they also update the database as well. I have been monitoring my synchronization status page and Encryption status carefully since my sync got messed up recently. So will I be ab…

I can only speak for my script jnrmor but I’m pretty sure the perl script works similar. The script searches for orphaned resources (files not used in a note) and removes them from the database and resource directory. After a sync they will be deleted from the sync target as well. While I have nev…

Does it do the same thing as this: cd ~/.config/joplin-desktop for i in sqlite3 database.sqlite "select resource_id from note_resources where is_associated = 0" do rm resources/$i* done sqlite3 database.sqlite "delete from note_resources where is_associated = 0" which I found in this discus…

Also, can you confirm the resources should be automatically deleted after 48 hours? I know for sure mine aren’t. My resource folder and my dropbox folders are ballooning.

In short: No. Long answer: The script is safer because it uses the joplin api instead of manipulating the database directly. Also, I believe for the changes to be removed from the sync target records have to be inserted into another table, which is not done by the commands you quoted. Use the scri…

This script is a bash shell script? What version of bash do I need? I’m on Windows, do you know if anyone has run your script successfully on Windows?

I was able to install a bash shell on windows, I installed the getop dependencies. I set the .conf and webclipper id and ran your command. I got as far as this: $ ./jnrmor -n ./jnrmor: line 225: sqlite3: command not found No orphaned resources found. I assume that I needed to downloaded the sqli…

[image] bsouthern: I’m on Windows, do you know if anyone has run your script successfully on Windows? I haven't used Windows for 20 years, but I know that Windows now comes with a Linux subsystem. I believe a lot of users on this forum use it to run bash scripts and/or other linux code. […
