a litle more info after some testing...
The 'magic' connector between files and nodes is through the file_revisions table. So I can figure out why some files get listed and some do not.
The next issue now is, why when I delete a file from the admin interface, the revision history gets deleted from the table, but the 'file' table entry does not get deleted, nor does the file within in filesystem ?
I am running this as the admin account, the permissions of the filesystem allow the creation as the apache user, but it isnt deleting.
Thanks

I deleted a file from the node that it was uploaded to, however, it still exists in the /files directory.
Looking at the SQL schema, it appears that the file sitll has an entry in the 'files' table, however it doesnt appear to be listed on the node.
I haven't found the magic trick which tells drupal that a file has been removed from a node...
So --
A) are files supposed to be purged once they are deleted from the node? B) how does the node know which file to list - is there a bit field somewhere?
Thanks
