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 :ref:`Administrators > Setup <administrators_setup>`

* A file storage with the base path of your target path. See :ref:`Explanations > File Storage <explanations_filestorage>`

* Files must be referenced


Workflow
--------

Run this script

* with the Upgrade Wizard

* or with the CLI

.. code:: php
