How to Manage Storage

Monitor storage usage across profile photos, OMR files, media, and assignment submissions, then clean up safely


How to Manage Storage

Use Storage Management to monitor file growth and clean up old files without guessing where space is being used.


Open Storage Management

  1. Go to Dashboard -> Storage
  2. Review the top usage summary cards
  3. Switch between tabs for each file type

The page separates files by source so cleanup can be done with less risk.


What You Can Manage

Area What It Includes Typical Cleanup Action
Profile Images Student/user profile photos Remove duplicate or outdated images
OMR Images Scanned OMR sheets by exam Filter by exam and remove invalid scans
Media Files Course media assets and question media Delete unused uploads
Assignment Files Student assignment submission files Review old submissions based on policy

Search and Filter Before Deleting

Use the table controls to narrow the list first:

  • Search by file/user/exam context
  • Exam filter for OMR images
  • MIME type filter for media files
  • Pagination for controlled review in large organizations

Single and Bulk Deletion

Delete a Single File

  1. Find the file
  2. Click the delete action
  3. Confirm in the dialog

Bulk Delete

  1. Select multiple rows
  2. Click the bulk delete action
  3. Confirm deletion
  4. Check success/fail counts in the confirmation toast

Start with smaller batches so you can validate the result before large cleanups.


Safe Cleanup Routine

  1. Filter files by type and age
  2. Delete in small batches
  3. Refresh storage stats
  4. Re-check affected modules (OMR, courses, profiles)
  5. Repeat until usage is within your target
