completed simple question on deleting content

Just want to be sure-
Once certain of my site's forum categories get bloated with outdated discussions - when i do occasional housekeeping and delete Forum or Group discussions from within my ACP jamroom side- will all the embedded and attached images, mp3s, gifs, etc that people had added to their posts all be deleted OFF my Jamroom server? I need to know this because I sure don't want to be storing and hosting all that stuff ACCUMULATING and hogging space forever.
My members love to attach photos and music clips etc to their posts. Sometimes too much.

Want to be sure I don't have to search those files out on my server to remove them- they all just truly go POOF and are off my server when I simply delete the discussion or post when I'm in my site as admin?

If you are still seeing content after you have deleted it, try deleting your cache (server, browser or both).

No, I'm not having that problem- I just want to know how it works, and if the files get dumped off my server by simply deleting the post or discussion they are attached or embedded to...from the JR acp/admin side of things.

Almost predictably, when you press "delete" the files are deleted along with the item.

I guess they had you jumping through some weird hoops with Ning huh?

Ning doesn't let you go into any servers of course, and they won't even tell you what your site storage limit is...above which they will demand more money. They also said vaguely that files and pages were stored 'somewhere' for a period of time after you delete them...
It is all very creepy/corporate/tight-lipped over there. That's why we find Jamroom to be so refreshing!

In Jamroom when you delete something it is deleted, so you should be good
