Hi Alex, I have the same issue of Vinoj and I have installed the package named up. In the page it says "ATTENTION! To view the new FALM section you must enable it for all users that can use this tool."

Of course.... I don't have a clue about how to do that and I can't see the section, shame on me, please share your answer with me

Thank you, Alessandro

Hi Alessandro,

Please, go to Users section -> Your user and check that needed section is checked for you.

Oh great, thank you. I didn't see the "GROUP" menù up there all alone, and this tool, immediately deleted my files, the orphans file and folders in media section. This perfectly solved the problem.

Thank you Alex, that perfectly solved the problem. I didn't see the GROUP menù on top right of the screen, as soon I have clicked there, all was clear. The package too did a perfect work.

Hi Guys

Anyone having trouble with Umbraco 8. Here is how I do it.

public void DeleteMedia(int mediaId)
        {
            try
            {
                IMedia media = _mediaService.GetById(mediaId);
                if(media != null)
                    _mediaService.Delete(media);

            }
            catch (Exception e)
            {
                _logger.Error<UmbMediaService>("DeleteMedia | Exception: {0} | Message: {1}", e.InnerException != null ? e.InnerException.ToString() : "", e.Message != null ? e.Message.ToString() : "");
            }
        }

Do you do any code to detect if it is in use?
