RE: Files still accessible after deletion
-
Hi,
I am a teacher and use a blog to upload resources for my students to use. I have uploaded a couple of files which are a breach of licence from the resource provider. I have deleted the post on which they were placed which has gone away and have also deleted the files from my file list. I can still access the files using a direct URL for both files.

Hi,
According to the support page, “direct web addresses to the files might continue to work for up to a few days, as they are cached.”When I tried to access the files just now, I saw only a “404 — File not found” error message.

Hi Muhammed,
These files have been deleted from your Media Library. As micawbr mentioned, the URLs to deleted files can continue to work if they have been cached.
Both of the URLs send me to a ‘404 — File not found’ error now. You may need to clear your browser cache to see the change. There are instructions for different browsers here:
Let me know if you have any questions.
