Will this work to delete pictures images from the server?

Hello,

I am using nopCommerce 3.90 with source.

Our Pictures are stored into...file system

We have over 86,000 images in /Content/Images, /Content/Images/Thumbs/000, /Content/Images/Thumbs/001, /Content/Images/Thumbs/002.

I want to get rid of a lot of those images by using the following processing:

List<int> productList = new List<int>()
    {
        1,
        2,
        3
    };

foreach (var prodId in productList)
    {
        IList<ProductPicture> prodPictureList = _productService.GetProductPicturesByProductId(prodId);

        foreach (var prodPicture in prodPictureList)
        {
            _productService.DeleteProductPicture(prodPicture);
        }

    }

Naturally productList will be bigger from another source.

Will the _productService.DeleteProductPicture(prodPicture); delete the images from the server?

Or, am I on the wrong track?

Any help would be gratefully appreciated.

Thanks,
Tony

Only deletes it from the database. Not from the file system.

Get full URL of Picture using by picture service and delete it from your directory.

if(File.Exists(picturePath))
{
     File.Delete(picturePath);
} 

Hope this will help to you.

Thanks to Raju and calacula for their help.

This did it for me:

IList<ProductPicture> productPictureList = _productService.GetProductPicturesByProductId(productId);

foreach (var productPicture in productPictureList)
{
    if (productPicture == null)
        throw new ArgumentException("No product picture found with the specified id");

    var pictureId = productPicture.PictureId;
    _productService.DeleteProductPicture(productPicture);

    var picture = _pictureService.GetPictureById(pictureId);
    if (picture == null)
        throw new ArgumentException("No picture found with the specified id");
    _pictureService.DeletePicture(picture);
}

Thanks,
Tony
