On our Confluence Server instance, the "imgEffects" directory has grown to a reasonable size (47GB).
I could not find a useful piece of text that describes this directory in more detail.
Thanks a lot & best regards,

Yes you can purge old files. This is the borders effects generated for images.
Thanks a lot for your fast reply.
Just for curiosity and not because I am not "trusting" your statement: is there an official reference about the purpose of this directory?
Thanks a lot, best,
-Rainer

Unfortunately I can find tickets but not documentation.

Same for me. This was exactly the reason why I've been asking ;-)
Anyhow: thanks!

Just to be clear: what would happen if we purged all files in imgEffects?
Would the image effects be lost forever, or would they regenerate on a visit to the page?
We're about to migrate from Server to Data Centre, and I want to pare down the local directories to minimise what has to be transferred over to the NFS share.

I explicitly tested it with 2 or 3 of them: delete and access again: they were re-created from scratch upon access.
Afterwards, I cleaned them up for all files older than 180 days (incl. empty sub-directories resulting from file cleaning) w/o any negative effect (Confluence Server). And I will repeat doing so every couple of months ;-)
Hope this helps, best,

It's amazing... our confluence-home is around 200GB insize, and it appears we only need to keep about 100MB!
Of course we're a bit behind on migrating attachments to the filesystem from the database... once we do that, we're back to heavy filesystem load, I'm sure.
Kind regards,
Richard.
