I have seen while deleting videos ,audios and images from Kaltura Management Console , these deleted videos still reside on the disk and consume space.Here , I have explained how u can make a cron job which continuously monitor your file system and delete these file which is no longer available on KMC

• First of all, download “latest client api libraries” from kaltura admin console. Steps:
  • Log in to your admin_console
  • Go to developer TAB.
  • Download latest php5 client libraries.
• Create a directory named storagecleanup in /opt/kaltura
• Create a lib folder in storagecleanup and move all downloaded client libraries into it.
  • (Change permission of all scripts to 777)
• Now perform following steps

  partner_id:partner_admin_secret
  

  deleteData($splitdelimit[0],$splitdelimit[1]);               //call file deletion method    
  
  }
  
  ?>
  

  serviceUrl = 'http://your_server_address/';
  
  $client = new KalturaClient($config);
  
  $secret = null;
  
  $userId = null;
  
  $type = null;
  
  $partnerId = null;
  
  $expiry = null;
  
  $privileges = null;
  
  $secret = KALTURA_PARTNER_SERVICE_SECRET;
  
  $type = KalturaSessionType::ADMIN;
  
  $partnerId = KALTURA_PARTNER_ID;
  
  $results = $client->session->start($secret, $userId, $type, $partnerId, $expiry, $privileges);
  
  $filter = null;
  
  $pager = null;
  
  $client->setKs($results);
  
  $filter = new KalturaBaseEntryFilter();
  
  $filter->statusEqual = KalturaEntryStatus::DELETED;
  
  $results = $client->baseEntry->listAction($filter, $pager);
  
                 foreach($results->objects as $item)
  
                 {
  
                         $entryRelatedFiles = glob($path.'/'.$item->id.'*');
  
                         foreach($entryRelatedFiles as $filename)
  
                         {  echo "file name:".$filename;
  
                                 //unlink($filename);                    //remove “//” to delete files
  
                         }
  
                 }
  
  }
  
  }
  
  ?>
  

  #!/bin/bash
  
  /bin/echo "disk cleanup started";
  
  /bin/echo `date`
  
  /usr/bin/php /opt/kaltura/storagecleanup/AllPublishersStorageCleanup.php >> /opt/kaltura/log/diskcleanup.log
