Filestore Orphan Sweeper
Reclaim disk by deleting filestore files that no attachment row points to anymore.
Over time Odoo's filestore fills with orphan files: binaries whose ir.attachment row was deleted but whose file never was. They eat disk, inflate every backup, and serve no content. System admins have no friendly tool to find them and end up writing shell scripts. This module scans the filestore, cross-references every file against ir.attachment, and lets you preview the orphans before deleting, with a dry-run mode and a 24-hour safety rail.
Filestore Orphan Sweeper
Find and delete filestore files with no matching ir.attachment row, with a dry-run preview and a sweep log.
What it does
Over time Odoo's filestore accumulates orphan files: binaries that no longer have a corresponding ir.attachment row. They consume disk, inflate backups, and don't serve any user content. Odoo's built-in garbage collector catches some of them, but many leak past.
There is no admin-friendly tool to audit the filestore, preview orphans, or reclaim space without hand-crafted shell scripts.
What this module adds:
- Scan the active database's filestore and cross-reference every file against
ir.attachment.store_fname. - Preview orphans: count, total size, sample filenames.
- Delete with confirmation; every run logged (scanned count, orphan count, size, deleted count, dry-run flag, user, timestamps).
- Safety rail: files younger than 24 hours are never deleted (they may still be mid-upload).
- System-admin-only menu (
base.group_system), no accidental access for regular users. - Full history of every sweep so storage reclaim is reportable.
Who benefits
System administrators, DevOps, and IT operations at mid-market and enterprise companies with large filestore footprints.
How it works
Manual wizard plus a persistent log. No core-model inheritance. TransactionCase tested on Odoo 17, 18, and 19. Safe to install, safe to uninstall. Pairs with our Attachment Size Enforcer, that one stops new bloat, this one cleans up old bloat.
What the module looks like
Real screenshots from a live Odoo 19 install. Every view is standard Odoo chrome, no bespoke widgets to learn.
Common questions
Does it inherit or patch core Odoo models?
_register_hook to wrap the target method at registry load, and the wrapper unwinds cleanly at uninstall. No schema changes to core tables, no monkey-patches, no Studio surgery.Does it work on Odoo Community, or only Enterprise?
Can I uninstall it cleanly if it does not fit?
What support do I get after buying?
