I want to delete an image that I uploaded into the host user account.  How do I find where its stored using Filezilla or File Manager?

Hmm the easy part of the answer is that all user files are stored in a collection of folders under /Portals/0/Users/

The hard part of the answer is that once you are in the folder - its not as straight forward - if you only have a couple of users its not too hard to work out.

Dnn uses a hash algorithm to break down the users into collections of sub folders - the first layer of folders under /Users/ is basically a set of buckets to hold groups of users - you will need to look inside these bucket folders for an actual folder with the USERID of the user - in this case since its the host if will  most likely be a user with userid = 1.

So you are looking for something like /Portals/0/Users/4/1/  where /4/ is the bucket and /1/ is the userid.

Thank you Westa, I looked in that folder using Filezilla but it, and its sub-directories, appears to be empty.  Is there a way to search that I'm just not seeing?

For host users (super users) you would need to look under the folder Portals/_default/Users/

Do you know what the hashing algorythm is or how to get the folder path from the userId?
