What is the problem?

Want to delete all STLs gcode files with one button click.

What did you already try to solve it?

Searched for a post in the Forum, didn't find one.

Have you tried running in safe mode?

Nope. Will not help for sure. :wink:

Additional information about your setup

  • OctoPrint 1.8.2
  • Python 3.7.3
  • OctoPi 0.17.0

Not really a problem, but! :smiley:

I have times a print a lot of different stuff. Uploading loads of STLs gcode files, some of them are really large.
This seems to slow down the OctoPrint GUI considerably.
Hence I delete the STLs gcode files from time to time.
When I have collected a bunch of them, this starts to be a bit tedious.

It's not a serious problem, but is there a way to delete all of the STLs gcode files uploaded at once?

I am also fine with SSHing to the Raspberry PI and delete them.
Knowing where the STLs gcode files are would me help as well, I guess.
Just in case it doesn't mess up the UI deleting them by rm * in the correct directory.

Edit: had been confused and wrote STLs instead of gcode files in the original post, which makes no sense of course... fixed that

On your OctoPi install, they would be in ~/.octoprint/uploads. From there you can remove them. It shouldn't break anything to just remove them from there with an rm.

I would use rm *.gcode in this case

gcode or stl?

I assumed that was a typo and that he was talking about gcodes - but you're right

In that case it should be rm *.stl

Yes, of course I ment *.gcode files!
I edited my post for clarity...
