[Feature Request] Allow deleting of original files
Source: paperless-ngx/paperless-ngx#12357 · opened by @Ra72xx
Description
I know that according to #10423 keeping the original files is somehow an ideological principle of Paperless-ngx.
Nevertheless I would like to ask for a feature to remove the original file. Of all my documents, not for a single one I see the necessity to keep the original version. This more than doubles the space used by Paperless-ngx for no obvious gain (and also clutters storage paths in case of exports).
This could be very well an optional feature, but I see no reason why the user should not be free to make this decision.

No pledges yet. Be the first to back this.
