June 19, 2012 by Arvind Das
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

Create a lib folder in storagecleanup and move all downloaded client libraries into it.
