Plugin: netbox-documents, does not delete files. (Need help)

[LHBL2003]

Hello,

I need some help for a small bugfix in a plugin. Unfortunately, the actual developer is not responding.

First of all, I have very little experience with Python and Django. I am currently trying to improve / extend the Dokuments Storage plugin.

I have already managed to extend the plugin for device types, which was very important to me.
But now I am reaching my limit. Because there is another problem, which already existed.

The plugin stores in the directory /opt/netbox/netbox/media/netbox-documents/
the documents. However, these are not deleted when the file is deleted again. Thus, unused documents accumulate in the directory.

Does anyone know about deleting files and could help me a little?

Many thanks

Installation of my version is possible:

sudo su
cd /opt/netbox/netbox/
source /opt/netbox/venv/bin/activate
pip uninstall netbox-documents
pip install git+https://github.com/LHBL2003/netbox-documents@Add-Device-Type
python manage.py migrate
sudo systemctl restart netbox

The problem could be solved.

def delete(self, *args, **kwargs):

         _name = self.document.name

         # Delete file from disk
         super().delete(*args, **kwargs)
         self.document.delete(save=False)

         # Restore the name of the document as it's re-used in the notifications later
         self.document.name = _name
