Sorry Brian, must have missed it! 
Cming back to the start of the thread, how do I permanently get rid of "deleted" files?
Thanks,

It really depends on how you would like to get rid of the "deleted" files. The configuration of the file deletion system is in the readme.txt file, as well, so I won't go over it here. Basically, files can either be permanently deleted (I will call this "purged" to prevent confusion.) immediately or after a set delay. If the system is configured to delete the files immediately, the file purge will be done immediately. On the other hand, if there is a delay set then after that delay period has passed a limited number of files will be purged any time a user displays a page that is not the main DMS page. So, the more activity there is in the DMS, the faster files will get purged. Only a limited number of files are purged at a time to prevent any page from taking a long time to display.
When upgrading from an older version to version 0.98, if you have existing "deleted" files, there will be a delay until they are purged. For example, if you just upgraded and have 100 files that are "deleted" you will first have to configure the file deletion system. Once that is done, only two files will be purged everytime a non-main DMS page is displayed. It will take a little while for all of the files to be purged; but, it will happen.
I hope this helps.
