Anyone know of an easy way, in Wordpress, to delete a blog post a way that it'll also delete the media files/content of that blog post from the server?

Please post plugins or help if you know of anything.

Thanks

Off topic... how come you have not made a link trading plugin?

Find the number of the file and either ftp delete or find the post and delete it. Each page will have a number.

Actually there are two major sorts of post deleting plugins. One are super-duper smart-assed because they found a very easy way to delete 1000's of posts less faster than a lightning, because they do it via a simple MySQL query. Course they don't delete post media and other attached content. So they just turn you DB into a shit hole.

And there is another sort of 'em. The ones that use a standard WP API delete_post() function. It works much slower than a direct MySQL query, but it does it correctly and cleans your DB in accordance to the official WordPress standards. My WP-Mass-Delete plugin is one of this sort. It's free.
