Reducing the total size of attachments in an app

The following methods can help reduce an app's total attachment size.

  • Delete files from the Attachment field of each record in the app
    This way of reducing the attachment size works only when the Change History feature is disabled.
    When the Change History feature is enabled, files remain in the change history even if they are deleted from Attachment fields, so the attachment size will not decrease.
  • Delete records to which files are attached
    Reference: Deleting records
  • Delete the Attachment field itself (This needs to be done by an app administrator)
    Reference: Deleting fields
  • Disable the Change History feature (This needs to be done by an app administrator)
    Disabling the Change History feature deletes the change history recorded up until that point.
