Coming Soon: On April 2nd, all Suggestion Boxes will be migrating to The Network, Trimble's online user community. Your posts, votes, comments, and user accounts will transfer. This site will become read-only after the migration, and this banner will have a link to the new location for ProContractor suggestions.

Remove .cal and .tif files from the Digital Takeoff repository when purging a job with digital takeoff

Over time users can rack up a boat load of files that become useless.  These files should be deleted with the job folder when the job is purged from Viewpoint to free up disk space.  Since the file name in the repository may not coincide with the name the user may have used when creating the job it is rather dangerous to ask the user to manually delete them.

    Some companies pay for web backup of data.  These files may be included in these backups and may cause unnecessary charges for backup size overages.
