one thing i found is that old attachments don't seem to be deletable. You can see them in Space- Content tools

 

is there a way to delete them?

Hi @Rachna Soni 

Presumably, you deleted the attachment from the page's Attachment 'folder'

In my screnshot above, only the 'framed' one is actually visible on the page.

Now....

When I delete the other one (Vladstudio Alice), it ends up in the space's Trash.

@Rachna Soni it is tricky to delete unused attachments, meaning they are visible on a page. They are saved for version history but create bloat and if hitting storage limits add cost.

Attachment Manager by Easy Apps is a new suite of tools to bulk manage attachments. One feature is searching attachments across a space and filter by 'not visible' and then bulk delete.
