If you look back in my blog I have been monitoring some files I deleted for some time. I think my first blog mentioning this was on May 20 2009. The files in question were deleted by me thorught the Ipernity interface in march 2009.
The files are no longer in my gallery or linked from my page. But the URL to the files that starts http://u1.ipernity.com/ still points to the full sized originals I uploaded. I have 6 files I monitor to see if they are ever purged.
So far no, none are ever purged. The still sit there veiewable by anyone who knows or guesses the full path to the url. There is no security on them And there is no way for me to know if anyone or how many people have visited that page and looked at or downloaded that image.
It's rather disheartening.

Here is a sample of an original that I haven't deleted..

As you can see there are no controls on the original file.
I can live with that. What bothers me is that deleted files seem to never purge.
