Mauro Vicariotto

Great Felipe, thank you!
I will follow the explanations and try:
Thank you very much.
Mauro

no, it isn’t
anyhow this evening I will check again

looking better it seems that this issue is caused by the domain provider (Aruba.it).
they offer you a package including WP: but (not sure yet!) it seems that they include a strange backup system which “backups also what you delete”

not sure

yes Steve, when you delete it, the file is removed from the list in list appearance
(I can repeat the test this evening (IT Time Zone, I’m in Italy now).
I have only one doubt (as said I have the descriptions in IT, don’t know what is in EN).
When you see at the list of the uploaded media (columns) at the third col (“loaded on”) the 99% of my images result “not attached”.
This is because I use such library for all purposes (f.e. for backgrounds), while “attached” means “applied inside a page” (or something like that).

select the files to delete and click on “delete definitively” (or don’t know what’s in EN version, I have in IT “cancella definitivamente”)

Thank you to all.
Mauro & Stefania

Steva thank you for your patience.
What you are saying is what I reularly do, cancel all from media library every week.
Also (recently) tried a plugin “Extend Media Upload” to create subfolders and cancel them directly.
But (with or without the plugin) you could not believe:
when I go to the domain and look at the folder the files are still allthere.

???
Do you want to see the backup?

Thankyou Steve,
and sorry if I did not specify:
for useless I mean that I upload dozens of images for tests, then discard at least the 70% and after chosen cancell all the rest.
Or f.e. decide a background image, then change to another.
Same for the HTML, js and stylesheets (whih for my decision preferred to put in subfolders in same path):
cancelling, I was sure to erase them definitively.
But when go ftp with Filezilla I see all still there.

??
They are not related to some existing pages.

(thanks for the info about autosaves: now I can use WP Sweep)

Thank you Te-Taipo, your advices are useful for me.
I will do some test, then (if I don’t disturb) might be I will have to ask you a point of view. For now what I see is that when I install the aryo-activity-log it doesn’t see the new “users”, or ot sees with our same IP.
In other words the report is our avatar + the nick name of these users + our IP address.
But this might be because days ago I changed the “guests” role from subscriber to “none”, and today to check I changed again to subscriber

Te_Taipo, thank you for your kind advice too!
Unfortunately behind this there is an horrible story (which I don’t want to bother you writing here) … but I’m 99% sure that this is not a spamming coincidence.
This psyco is persecuting my wife and (for exa,ple) sent 1878 hard offensive messages just on whatsapp, he shadows her when she is alone, etc..
Police found also a gun at his home: we sent them after his threats against me.
And the event is:
“the site is not finished yet, and I’m putting it online just sometime for tests”: and in those minutes appear the new users.

Sorry for the sad story.

PS: I have also another question regarding WP updates, but I’m new here: can I put on this thread or change to a new one? Thanks and sorry.
Mauro

Great! thank you we appreciate your help a lot!
Mauro & Stefania

Thankyou very much James, I’m installing it now.But it seems that this great plugin will ban any future user. I did not read the tutorial yet, but what we need is a way to read the Ip of the user which is already subscribed, to prove that he is this guy (we are sure).
Do you think that this plugin could help me to find that IP?
The guy is clever: he subscribes with several bad names, but always anonimous: his way to disturb is not to write messages:
his “messages” (offenses) are in the user name, he will never send a message to avoid to be catched (f.e. a nickname is “fuckyou”).
But the next time he will not use the same: he will apply a new subscription.
A couple per day.
Hope to have clearly explained the situ: I must “lock the person with Authorities”, because banning hinm few times per day is not enough (he will continue).

(to better explain: he is a stalker of my wife, psyco and with already several legal action from her: sorry if me and my wife explained the personal case)
