How to make carrierwave delete the file when destroying a record?

Question

I\'m using the carrierwave gem to upload files.

I have built a system for users to flag images as inappropriate and for admins to remove the images. From what I can

Answer 1

Not sure what CarrierWave offers for this, but you could use FileUtils in the Ruby standard library with an ActiveRecord callback.

For instance,

require 'FileUtils'
before_destroy :remove_hard_image

def remove_hard_image
  FileUtils.rm(path_to_image)
end

Sidenote: This code is from memory.
