django cleanup settings

In Django, the cleanup settings primarily refer to the configuration settings for managing and deleting old files from the media or file system. The following are the steps to set up and configure the cleanup settings in Django:

  1. Install the django-cleanup package using pip: bash pip install django-cleanup

  2. Add 'django_cleanup' to your INSTALLED_APPS in the settings.py file: python INSTALLED_APPS = [ ... 'django_cleanup', ... ]

  3. Configure the cleanup settings in the settings.py file by adding the following: python CLEANUP_PREDELETE = True

Explanation: - Installing the django-cleanup package adds the necessary functionality for automatic cleanup of old files. - Adding 'django_cleanup' to INSTALLED_APPS allows the django-cleanup package to be recognized and utilized by the Django project. - Setting CLEANUP_PREDELETE to True enables the automatic cleanup of old files before any related model instances are deleted.

By following these steps, the cleanup settings in Django can be properly configured to manage the deletion of old files effectively.
