How to delete old image when update ImageField?

Question

I\'m using Django to create a stock photo site, I have an ImageField in my model, the problem is that when the user updates the image field, the original image file isn\'t d

Answer 1

try this, it will work even if old file is deleted

def logo_file(instance, filename):

    try:
        this = business.objects.get(id=instance.id)
        if this.logo is not None:
            path = "%s" % (this.logo)
            os.remove(path)
    finally:
        pass..

code will work even without "try .. finally" but it will generate problem if file was accidently deleted. changed: move model matching inside "try" so it will not throw any error at user signup Let me know if there are any problems.
