Hi All, i created an application to upload image files using paper clip plugin,its working successfully,alsoi had a page which l;ists all the images uploaded by the user.also there is a delete button to delete the image from db by entering value in the deleted_at fileld in database not removing that complete row( not from the attachments files(ie images folder)).but when i tried to delete an image its getting removed from the images folder under public,can any one suggest any method to avoid the image not getting deleted from the public folder

please help me

Thanks in advance, tony

def delete_photo @object= User.find(params[:id]) @object.update_attribute(:photo, nil) @object.save redirect_to @object end
