One choice is to change your storage type:

Make sure you have a solid backup, if you decide to go this route.

hello,thnx for the quick reply,but i have tried this already and my attachement are stored in the filesystem.
that didnt free up disk space.
i m running my forum on a vps plan and i have to pay extra amount every month for this 20 GB extra storage.
