Purge old assignments

What is this?

This plugin allows a site manager to delete historical files stored within an assignment - at 1/2/3 year intervals. Note: it deletes the files but does not remove grades etc.

3 standard file areas are currently supported

• assignfeedback_editpdf


• assignfeedback_file


• assignsubmission_file

Purging files can be done in two ways:

• manual purge: schedules an adhoc task for the selected file area and interval.


• automated purge: can be enabled by file area, each with its own interval.

This was developed for a specific use-case and there is room for improvement - pull requests are always welcome.
