Since Gitlab is listening: users sometimes attach files to issues on my project and then regret it. There doesn’t seem to be any way to permanently delete such an upload. Sometimes these files have passwords or their employers’ secrets. I asked for help in the forums but got no response. Help?

Hi! Thanks for reaching out! There's an open issue related to your question:https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/16229

You can't delete attached files if some of them were uploaded by mistake - It's better to use the issue tracker for a feature request.

The issue tracker I think is a better place for such a feature request.

Last time I worked on the attachment code, there wasn't a persistent database relationship for uploads and notes. Which would make this feature hard to implement, it would be a great feature though!
