Hey all,

I'm developing an app where users can upload an image which will be stored in cloudinary and updating the dabatase with the public_id once it's done. Obviously, errors can happen, creating some inconsistency between the database and Cloudindary (100 records in the database, 130 images in cloudinary, for example).

Is there a way of performing a cleanup of some sort, where I pass a list of public_ids and tell cloudinary to delete all images that are not in this list?

  Hi Yaniv,

  Thank you for contacting us.

  You can write a script that performs the cleanup by using our destroy method via the  API. You can read more about how to perform deletion on the following link- https://cloudinary.com/documentation/node_image_upload#update_and_delete_images   

  Hope this helps, please let me know if you have any further questions.

  Thanks,
  Raya
