FAL Cleanup
===========

[](#fal-cleanup)

This is a TYPO3 CMS extension that provides a CLI command for removing all unused files from the *fileadmin* and *uploads* directory using the reference table `sys_file_reference` of FAL.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

Add it into the `typo3conf/ext` folder.

via git

```
git clone https://github.com/trenker/typo3.fal_clean.git typo3conf/ext/fal_clean
```

or via composer

```
composer require georggrossberger/falclean
```

Using the composer method will, of course, require an installation using the [composer integration](http://composer.typo3.org) of TYPO3.

In both cases, go to the extension manager module and install it.

There is currently no TER release.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

The extension offers two CLI extbase commands: `simulate` and `execute`. The first will list which records and files will be deleted. The second one acutally deletes them.

```
# Show unused files and records
php typo3/cli_dispatch.phpsh extbase falclean:simulate

# Remove the files
php typo3/cli_dispatch.phpsh extbase falclean:execute
```

Make sure your FAL relations are properly set up, or it will delete more than desired.
