removing attachments altogether

Question

Hi,

When trying to migrate to the Cloud from self hosted confluence, I received the following for one of the Space:

"Failed to read 74 attachment(s). Check the Confluence log file for more details."

I believe these attachment are no longer exist/lost after I have backup and restore in previous versions.

How can I going about to bypass or remove these attachment references altogether for the migration to work for this space.

Regards,

Josh.

It's not, it's a list of attachments only, with references back to the pages they are attached to.

The only positive I have is this failure to migrate is only happening with 1 space. So I am hoping the database has well defined space-attachment table references.

When I've seen this in the past, the log has told me what page they were attached to, but if you are not getting anything out, then you might have to do this by force.  Read the whole attachments table in the database and check for the physical existence of every file it says is attached.
