Clean up directory uploads

• It will move files from uploads to a client directory.

• It will remove files without any reference.

Why do you need this wizard?

This upgrade wizard is expedient, if you are running multiple sites in a TYPO3 instance, and several clients have saved their files in the uploads folder:

• Editors doesn't have access to the uplaods folder.

• Administrator doesn't know, which file is owned by which client.

Precondition

• EXT:multisite (only needed while using this wizard)

• Setup of the target path. See Administrators > Setup

• A file storage with the base path of your target path. See Explanations > File Storage

• Files must be referenced
