# Photo uploading issues

 * (1) When the listing owner clicks on the remove link to upload a new photo, the
   previous photo(s) remain in the server and are not actually removed or deleted.
   This could translate into a huge waste of server disk space if the directory 
   has enough users uploading and replacing photos.
 * (2) Also, all the profile photos are publicly accessible when one enters the 
   url to the folder containing them.
 * I realise that this is not a real problem, since I can always upload a blank 
   index.html file in this folder to hide them from public view.

 * Hi awwad,
 * The directory you mention above is not a directory controlled by BD–it’s one 
   controlled by DirectoryPress. You may wish to alert them about this problem.
 * For the first problem, can you tell me where you see the photo being left behind?
   A specific listing and some image links would help. If you prefer to do this 
   in private, please contact me directly: [http://businessdirectoryplugin.com/contact/](http://businessdirectoryplugin.com/contact/)

 * strangely enough, the thumbs keep uploading into the directorypress folder. There
   might be some sort of file/database corruption from the previous installation
   of other plugins. I’ll be moving my site to a new server next week and will do
   a fresh installation of wordpress and the bd plugin. I’ll let you know if that
   resolves this issue. Thank you.
