previously it was controversial cuz it deleted tons of stuff, mostly based on the whims of LittleBizzy and their private hosting clients, but in 2022 it was creatly simplified and now it will delete mostly only malware, very old/dead plugins, and plugins that directly conflict with SlickStack Nginx ex. cache plugins and AMP plugins

December 17, 2022 at 11:32 am #3450ArthurGuestThe below WP plugins are force deleted:
1. known malware
2. exploitable software that’s no longer being patched (this usually means abandoned and unsafe plugins)
3. plugins that cause database thrashing or server crashes, either because they are no longer patched or have a long history of bad code
4. plugins that conflict with SlickStack, which usually means AMP plugins or WP cache plugins
It also force deletes a few other minor files on your server like deprecated SlickStack files, unsafe file extensions such as
.exe
and some other random items that won’t affect 99% of SlickStack websites.March 28, 2023 at 8:25 am #4745JeremyGuesthow often does this script run?

ss-clean-files
runs onhalf-daily
interval. You can change this if needed, but a recent patch means that if SlickStack detects your setting is not valid (one of either hourly|quarter-daily|half-daily|daily) then it will force run the script on the default half-daily interval.This is to prevent abuse, we saw a few third party freelancers logging into SlickStack servers and disabling some scripts, causing malware infections
