I have increased the size of our db as a quick fix but would like to know how to delete some old files. What files can be deleted and how? Are there permissions that can be set to automatically delete some files after a certain amount of time has elapsed? Maxxing out the db size slowed the store down to a crawl when someone tried to check out and I would like to avoid this in the future.<br>]]>
