Download only, without saving export?

Open on Drupal.org →
Created on 9 March 2023, about 2 years ago

Problem/Motivation

The exports are being saved in the private file system, and I realized this will grow without ever cleaning up old downloaded exports. Is there a setting to have exports download immediately without saving the file? Or to have the files purged after a short while?

Steps to reproduce

Add an export to an existing view. Export the data. It saves to the private:// path.

    Hmmm...batched exports are saved as \Drupal\file\Entity\File and set as temporary, so they should be being cleaned up by Drupal on cron.

    I'm going to mark this as fixed, but do re-open if that's not the case, and your files are pilling up and not being deleted.

    You're right. Files get deleted, but folders don't. I have a large number of empty folders inside private://views_data_export.

    Is there a way empty folders can be deleted?
