Hello,

I have this issue: Files in server are not removed after delete it in Media Library.
Problem is fixed if I disable all wpml plugins.

Then, after investigating, I see that the problem is that I have to search and found the same image for each language and delete all them.

I need to delete the image for all languages. I mean this to synchronize the deletion across all languages.

I can not find where to set this in the wpml/settings.
How can get this?

Hi,

thanks for contacting us.

Please understand that WPML doesn't duplicate Media files. The file is only one, what WPML does is create a new entry in the database for each language. That's why it seems images are deleted when you disable WPML.

You can check if the option "When deleting a post, delete translations as well" in WPML → Settings → Posts and pages synchronization helps
