DeleteUploads finishers

The "DeleteUploads finisher" removes files that have been submitted. You can use this finisher after the email finisher if you do not want to keep the files in your TYPO3 installation.

Note

Finishers are only executed when a form is successfully submitted. If a user uploads a file but does not finish filling out the form, the uploaded files will not be deleted. Use the console command vendor/bin/typo3 form:cleanup:uploads to remove these files, see Cleaning up uploaded form files.

Finishers are executed in the order defined in your form definition.

See Finisher execution order.

DeleteUploads finisher in the YAML form definition

Use this finisher after the email finisher if you do not want to keep the files in your TYPO3 installation.

Finishers are executed in the order they are listed in the form definition YAML file:

public/fileadmin/forms/my_form.yaml

identifier: example-form
label: 'example'
type: Form

finishers:
  -
    identifier: EmailToSender
    options:
      subject: 'Your Message: {message}'
  -
    identifier: DeleteUploads
    # Define the delete uploads finisher AFTER the email finisher
# ...

Using the DeleteUploads finisher in PHP code

Developers can use the finisher key DeleteUploads to create deleteuploads finishers in their own classes:

<?php

use TYPO3\CMS\Form\Domain\Model\FormDefinition;

class SomeClass
{
    private function addDeleteUploadsFinisherWithMessage(FormDefinition $formDefinition, string $message)
    {
        $formDefinition->createFinisher('DeleteUploads');
    }
}

This finisher is implemented in \TYPO3\CMS\Form\Domain\Finishers\DeleteUploadsFinisher.
