Is there an easy way to clear all files in convex storage? I'm doing 20 at a time and I have 1k total.

hmm yeah I think adding a way to get a list of all id's associated with your project to help find orphaned images would be nice

#

because I had a bug in my code that forgot to delete some images

#

but now I have like 1,000 images I have to manually go through and check if they have a corresponding convex entry

#

this is just on dev, but if this was prod and I had real users, idk what I'd even do

#

like a ctx.storage.paginate or something

Yeah this has come up a few times. We have some ideas but haven't had a chance to prioritize them yet. Thanks for the reminder.

can you do ctx.db.system.query("_storage").paginate(opts) ?

You can also delete all stored files transactionally with a carefully constructed npx convex import, lmk if you want tips on that 🙂

export const listAllFiles = query({
  handler: async (ctx) => {
    // You can use .paginate() as well
    return await ctx.db.system.query("_storage").collect();
  },
});
#

yes, this is perfect

sorry for not seeing that 😅
