How to manage "attachment" folder?

[induslady]

Hello,
My board has attachments stored in the file system in this path -

/home/username/public_html/attachments

and the size of the folder is: 42 GB

How do we handle such huge and growing "attachment" folder ? Is there any suggestions.

Thanks in advance.
